Improve your wireless system’s range, stability, and control with the industry-standard active antenna solution.
Product Description
For complex events and large venues, the Shure UA874WB Active Directional Antenna is an essential piece of wireless accessory rental. This high-performance directional antenna significantly boosts the stability and usable range of your wireless microphone and in-ear monitor systems.
Unlike standard omnidirectional antennas (whips) that pick up signals from every direction, the UA874WB uses a directional cardioid pattern to focus reception on the desired coverage area. This selective focus is combined with a built-in amplifier (booster), which compensates for signal loss over long cable runs and improves receiver sensitivity. The result is a substantial reduction in noise and interference, leading to rock-solid wireless performance.
The UA874WB is versatile due to its wideband frequency range, making it compatible with a variety of professional wireless systems, including Shure Wireless Systems, Sennheiser Wireless Systems, and Mipro Wireless Systems.
Key Features & Benefits
- Directional Focus: The cardioid reception pattern rejects unwanted RF interference from outside the coverage area, drastically improving signal-to-noise ratio.
- Active Amplification: Built-in switchable gain (12 dB) compensates for long coaxial cable runs, ensuring the signal reaches the receiver without degradation.
- Wideband Frequency Range (UA874WB): The wide operating range ensures compatibility across multiple frequency bands, simplifying coordination for multi-channel systems.
- Improved Range & Stability: Provides a clear, stable signal over much greater distances than standard antennas.
- Durable & Discreet: Features a rugged construction designed for the road and is easily mounted on a microphone stand or truss.
