RF Venue has released the RackPRO, a spectrum analysis and monitoring system that lets you see wireless microphone and IEM frequencies inside your venue.

The RackPRO is housed in an industry standard 19" form factor for easy integration with existing live and installed cases, racks, and equipment closets. It's easy to use and well within budget for venues large and small. It can be operated either from the onboard LCD screen and touchpad or from a computer through a USB cable.

The included Clear Waves software for Windows lets you visualize spectrum in detail, label and monitor transmitter frequencies, and instantly calculate sets of intermodulation free frequencies that can be exported to multiple formats, including those compatible with Shure Wireless Workbench and IAS. A Mac OSX spectrum management application will be released this June.

More details are available here.

Purchasers should also be aware that the FCC is currently evaluating use of wireless microphone systems, and these rules are subject to change.
