Description
Maximise your wireless system’s range and reliability with the industry-standard PWS Helical Antenna.
Product Description
For professional audio productions and events that require numerous wireless microphone or IEM channels, the standard whip antenna won’t always suffice. Our Helical Antenna hire provides the industry-standard Professional Wireless Systems (PWS) S8089, a crucial upgrade for critical wireless performance.
The S8089 Helical Antenna uses circular polarisation, a key feature that provides a much more stable signal than linear antennas (like whips or paddles). This means the signal won’t drop out when transmitters (like beltpacks or handheld mics) move or change orientation on stage. This stability, combined with its high gain, makes it the ultimate solution for large stages, complex RF environments, or events where maximum range and flawless performance are non-negotiable.
This antenna is compatible with our entire range of Shure Wireless Systems and Sennheiser Wireless Systems, providing rock-solid reception for both. It pairs perfectly with our RF Antenna Splitter or Antenna Combiner for managing large multi-channel systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- Circular Polarization: Eliminates signal dropouts caused by transmitter orientation (the “fade” effect when a performer turns away), ensuring consistent coverage.
- High Gain (9 dBiC): Provides significant boosting of the signal, vastly increasing the usable operating range compared to standard antennas.
- Wide Bandwidth: Covers the standard UHF frequency range, making it compatible with most professional wireless systems and easy to coordinate.
- Increased Stability: Ideal for multi-channel applications, mitigating multi-path interference and maximising receiver sensitivity.
- Rugged Construction: Built to withstand the demands of touring and large outdoor events.
