Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What exactly do I need to connect the SNA600A to my Lectro src dual receiver? Do I need both the BNC cable and an adapter?

A: The Lectrosonics SNA600a Adjustable Dipole Antenna uses a 50 Ohm BNC connector to interface with the host device.

Q: 2. Will these antennas work with the older ULXP4 receivers ( J1)?

A: Yes, the Shure UA8 1/2 Wave Omnidirectional Receiver Antenna is compatible with ULX systems in the 554 to 590 MHz frequency range.

Q: 3. 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: 4. 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: 5. 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: 6. 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.

Q: 7. I have 3 411a being fed via smda's and smqv's and 2 sets of LT/LRs. They're all different blocks from 470 to 22. Would two of these work for all of my sets at the same time if I used a splitter? Or do I have to get two for each band?

A: Hello. This is Nick at Lectrosonics Tech Support. The SNA600a has an effective bandwidth of approximately 100MHz, 50MHz above and 50MHz below the center frequency that you set by adjusting the length of the antenna's arms. However, the sensitivity rolls off gradually above and below the +/- 50MHz points. The SNA600a measures less than 2:1 SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) from 465-850 MHz when the antenna arms are fully extended. In other words, depending on your application (range, RF output power settings on transmitters, obstruction to line of sight between transmitters and receivers, etc.) the SNA600a may work for you over greater than 100MHz bandwidth. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to email me directly at nick.mariano@lectrosonics.com or call 800-821-1121 x171 or ask for Nick if reception picks up the call.

Q: 8. I’m interested in Lectrosonics SNA600a Adjustable Dipole Antenna. I have lectrosonics UCR 210d and 205d with UM 200C and UM 200B. Are They compatible or I will need something else? I’m gonna be waiting for your answer. All the best

A: This antenna is compatible with both of your receivers. You probably need two of them for best results.

Q: 9. Can I plug this directly into an SMV transmitter that's set to IFB mode and get a better signal?

A: Yes, in theory the Lectrosonics SNA600a Adjustable Dipole Antenna's BNC connection could be adapted to the "SMA" type antenna connection on a Lectrosonics SMv transmitter to widen the transmitters output signal.

Q: 10. I'd like to boost the range of my Lectro dualSRC (a1)Rx and (block 23) IFB Tx. Do you suggest multiple sna's ( one for each unit ) or would a splitter be optimal ?

A: Diversity receivers use 2 antennas, so for the SRc, best practice would be to use 2 for the receiver. As the SRc is not a true diversity receiver unless in ratio mode, it will not dramatically increase range in switch mode (the mode the SRc must be in to receive 2 channels). It's not recommended to use the same antenna for transmission and reception, so the IFB should be on a different antenna altogether.
