Q: 1. Will this work with an BLX4R?

A: The UA864US can be used with the BLXR receiver unit, however would require the Shure UABIAST In-Line Power Supply due to the BLX receiver not being able to supply the bias voltage required by the antenna for proper operation. http://bhpho.to/2fZhr1E

Q: 2. Most Shure receivers have two antennas... so do I need to purchase two of these? One for each BNC cable?

A: Yes, that is correct. The UA864 manual discusses optimal antenna placement: https://pubs.shure.com/guide/UA864/en-US

Q: 3. Will this work with the 470-542 receivers?

A: Yes, the Shure UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) works with receivers that operate between 470 to 636 MHz.

Q: 4. Does this antenna come in pairs?

A: The Shure UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) is a single antenna, not a pair.

Q: 5. Does this antenna need line of sight? Would it work around minor obstructions like a mixing desk?

A: The UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) will work around minor obstructions but it is best to keep it as close to line of sight as you can.

Q: 6. Will this work for ULX-D systems?

A: The Shure UA860SWB is compatible with all UHF wireless microphone and In Ear Monitor systems with detachable antennas that operate within the range of 470-1100 MHz. In the case of ULX-D (and QLX-D) series systems, it can be used with all current bands except for the new V50 band (174.125 215.825 MHz) that operates in VHF, which is outside the range of frequencies received by this antenna.

Q: 7. so a separate power supply is required and does the power supply terminate in a BNC?

A: A separate power supply is not required. The power is supplied from the coaxial connection.

Q: 8. Will this work as a replacement antenna for the psm600 transmitter?

A: This would work with PSM systems but you just have to make sure you purchase the antenna that matches the frequency range your PSM system is using. This antenna is available in 12 different frequency ranges. Make sure the one you purchases matches the system you already own.

Q: 9. Does this work with SLXD4 receiver system ?

A: Yes, the Shure UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) is compatible for use with the SLXD4 wireless receiver. You will need to use two of these antennas. To mount the antennas, you can use the Shure UA505 Remote Antenna Bracket Mounting Kit - Includes: Mounting Bracket, Bulkhead Adapter, Bulkhead Adapter Nut (B&H # SHUA505). To connect the antennas to the receiver, you can use two of the Shure UA825 25' BNC-to-BNC Remote Antenna Extension Cables (B&H # SHUA825) or any similar coaxial cable in the length you need.

Q: 10. Does it come with the mounting bracket and required connectors?

A: The Shure UA8-2.4-5.8 Dual-Band Omnidirectional Antenna includes the mounting bracket.
