Aimed at touring, sports broadcast and audio set-ups requiring an FOH position hundreds of feet from stage, AKG has released the Helical antenna for use with wireless microphone and in-ear monitoring systems.
‘Helical brings an entirely new level of convenience and quality to the live sound market as a stable signal due to less interference or at longer distances becomes less of a worry,’ says Wolfgang Fritz, AKG Product Marketing Manager for Tour Sound. ‘With the Helical antenna, engineers receive high directionality and strong signal reception, with no additional adapters required. It’s simply plug-and-play for a more reliable, quality signal.’
The passive circular, polarised directional antenna operates in the UHF range, between 470MHz and 740MHz. Providing 9dB gain, it is lightweight, rapidly deployed and easily stored.
Helical has a durable, water-resistant nylon cover and compresses from 12-inch to 3-inch to easily fit inside a rack drawer for storage. It is designed for rapid deployment as users can unfold, extend and mount the unit on a stand quickly, connecting the cable with N or BNC connector to receivers, transmitters or antenna combiner.
