too many wireless mic receivers come with tiny antennas. Boost your gain and keep things connected with a half wave of Shure!

So far, so good

I haven't owned this product for long, but it works as expected.

Shure 1/2 Wave on Shure UA844 Wireless Distribution System

By David

Shure wireless microphone systems are popular with many Churches and event spaces. They come equipped with 1/4 wave antennas and utilize the chassis of the receiver as part of the antenna. When multiple receivers are to be used in one large areas a Shure UA844 distribution system is often utilized. The correct antenna for these systems is a frequency matched 1/2 wave. The UA844 does not use its chassis as part of the antenna only the 1/2 wave antenna receives signal. This design allows (within limits) for the antenna to be located away from the rack stack out in the performance space using high quality coax. Our installation had 1/4 waves, these 1/2 waves have improved the level and distance of our wireless microphones. Also with all the FCC frequency auctions, and crowding of spectrum use the Shure website channel selector in conjunction with your model no. and zip code to find suggested groups and channel settings for your location.

Great Antenna!
