Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. The BLX 188 did not come with Antenna, though the 2-pack system has installation points for 2 antenna. Will these (2x) work?

A: No, the Shure UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) is not compatible for use with the Shure BLX88 Dual-Channel Tabletop Wireless Receiver included with the Shure BLX188 Wireless Microphone System. The BLX88 receiver has internal antennas that are built-in, but it does not have installation points for external antennas.

Q: 3. Have anyone tried to used them for Lectrosonics, ZAXCOM or WISYCOM receivers? How well does it work?

A: The Shure UA860SWB Passive Omnidirectional Antenna is designed specifically for use with the Shure SLX, ULX, UC, UHF, and UHF-R Wireless Receivers and covers the frequency range of 470 to 1100 MHz. We have not tested the antenna with wireless receivers from other manufacturers like Lectrosonics, Zaxcom, or Wisycom to be able to confirm compatibility.

Q: 4. Does it work with SLX-D24D G58 and H55?

A: Yes, For G58 unit as the antenna is designed for a (470-542 MHz) No, for the H55 unit as it is designed based on a (H55: 514 to 558 MHz)

Q: 5. Can this antenna be use with two UA844+SWB connected to four QLXD4, and four ULXS4 receivers?

A: Yes, these antennas can be used with the UA844+ so long as the frequency range of the antennas cover the frequencies used on the systems.

Q: 6. 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: 7. What are the small gaskets for?

A: There are no small gaskets on the Shure UA8 1/2 Wave Omnidirectional Receiver Antenna (578-638 MHz). It is a BNC connector and it bends 90-degrees after the BNC connector. The rest of the assembly is the attached connected antenna.

Q: 8. 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: 9. How does it takes its power ? And can I use it with Panasonic camera model AG-HPX500P ?

A: The antenna is made by Shure and will only work with Shure products. The Shure systems it will work with are the SLX, ULX, UC, UHF, and UHF-R wireless systems.

Q: 10. Is it compatable with shure axient?

A: No, the Shure UA860SWB Passive Omnidirectional Antenna is not compatible for use with the Shure Axient series wireless receivers.

[0.15 lb] Improves signal strength a lot! 5

[0.15 lb] too many wireless mic receivers come with tiny antennas. Boost your gain and keep things connected with a half wave of Shure! 5

[0.15 lb] All I can say is get these. If you're having issues, dropouts, noise etc. a pair of these will remedy most or all problems when used correctly. We use multiple wireless microphones for conferences and presentations in all kinds of different venues. Prior to use of these we used the 1/2 wave antennas mounted on front of of the receiver rack. It was always a struggle trying to find an acceptable location for the receiver rack that was both out of the way and optimum for best antenna/receiver operation. With the UA860SWB we place them on a dual mic bar on a tall mic stand allowing us to get the UA860SWB's above the audience. With the supplied 25' cable it's much easier to find a footprint for the receiver rack and place the UA860SWB's in direct line of site of the mic's. 5

[0.15 lb] 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. 5

[0.15 lb] I bought this to help extend our microphone antenna range at an outdoor amphitheater we record at. No more dropouts! For years we were frustrated by the drop outs on our mics. Since remoting this antenna that is rated for outdoor use, we have had ZERO drop outs. Great design and easy to install into our existing system. 5

[0.15 lb] They do exactly what you expect them to do, and do it well. Using with Shure SLXD systems. 5

Daniel	03/08/2024
[0.15 lb] It works as intended. Nothing like Shure original stuff. 5

Bill	01/08/2024
[0.15 lb] Much better reception than little 1/4 wave antennas. These should be standard issue! 5

Jason	22/07/2024
[0.15 lb] Work great to expand my wireless range 5

Jacob	22/07/2024
[0.15 lb] Bought to improve signal reception due to frequent dropouts and we want to be able to remote mount in the future. The construction is solid. Antenna is about 13 inches long. Works well with the Shure SLX4 receiver. We saw a definite improvement in the radio signal over the basic 1/4 wave antennas. Works on any frequency between 470-636. 5
