  • Our Helical antenna kits offer a complete wireless audio rental antenna system in one Pelican case!
  • 2 Helical Antennas
  • 2 LPDA’s
  • 2 25′ S9046 Low-Loss Cable
  • 2 50′ S9046 Low-Loss Cable
  • 2 Antenna Rigging Clamps
  • The Domed Helical Antenna is nearly identical to the Helical antenna but is covered in a matte black dome and provides a wider beamwidth. The Domed Helical is well suited to indoor applications where a wide coverage pattern is necessary and site-lines are a priority.

Antenna Distribution

The DB Series Multicouplers serve as the head-end of the receive antenna system. Antennas are connected to rear-panel input zone connections. Each input features overload protected remote bias power, selectable from the front panel switches. The associated indicators depict the health of the remote line amp (connected, disconnected, or shorted.) Each input has an associated front panel variable attenuated that is used to tailor the amount of gain from that antenna in order to balance the overall system. The RF signals are then split, amplified, and filtered before being presented at the rear panel for connection to individual wireless receivers.

RF Input:

Each input is provided with selectable phantom style voltage of +12VDC for operating remote antenna amplifiers. The DB Series inputs may be used with PWS remote line amps as well as amps from other manufacturers.

RF Output:

The RF outputs are grouped into filtered outputs, for instance, a DB-16 may have one 16-way filtered output (wideband) or two 8-way outputs with separate filters ranges (2 Filter Ranges.) DB Multicouplers for microphones have symmetrical A and B circuits for diversity operation.

The DB Intercom Series Multicouplers serve as the head-end of the receive antenna system. Antennas are connected to rear-panel input zone connections. Each input features overload protected remote bias power, selectable from the front panel switches.

The RF outputs are grouped into filtered outputs, for instance, a DBIC-16 may have one 16-way filtered output (wideband) or two 8-way outputs with separate filters ranges (2 Filter Ranges.) DB-IC units have only a single RF pathway for non-diversity operation..

Antenna Combiners

The UX-4 combines and amplifies the input of up to four RF IEMs into a single output. It can accept inputs from nearly any IEM transmitter from 470 MHz to 750 MHz. (For VHF Frequencies check out our VX-4!)

The PWS UX combiner/amplifiers also act as RF equalizers, due to their proprietary Automatic Level Control circuitry. Each input contains its own RF amplifier and ALC circuit, boosting each signal to 250 mW maximum. For smaller events, a low power mode keeps transmissions at a maximum of 50 mW.

The use of independent single frequency amplifiers for each IEM signal reduces distortion and drop-outs from intermodulation and interrupted transmissions. The result is all performers on stage receive outstanding audio clarity in their IEM, without the antenna farm.

The UX-8 combines and amplifies the input of up to eight RF IEMs into a single output. It can accept inputs from nearly any IEM transmitter from 470 MHz to 750 MHz. (For VHF Frequencies check out our VX-4!)

The VX-4.1 combines the input of up to four VHF RF IFB or Intercom transmits into a single output antenna while the VX-4.3 has 4 inputs and 3 outputs. They combine and amplify transmitter signals, accepting inputs from nearly any VHF IFB or Intercom transmitter from 169 MHz to 217 MHz.
