RF Venue COMB4CP-ARC – 4-Channel IEM Combiner with CP Architectural Antenna

Product Overview

The RF Venue COMB4CP-ARC is a complete 4-channel in-ear monitor combining pack featuring the COMBINE4 IEM transmitter combiner, the white CP Architectural antenna, and a 25-foot white RG8X coaxial cable. Designed for permanent commercial AV installations, this IEM combiner pack consolidates up to four in-ear monitor transmitter signals onto a single, architecturally integrated antenna. The CP Architectural antenna mounts flush against a wall or ceiling and accepts standard paint, making it nearly invisible in finished interior spaces while delivering circularly polarized IEM signal to performers.

Product Description

The COMB4CP-ARC addresses the challenge of combining a professional 4-channel IEM system with a clean, permanent installation aesthetic. The CP Architectural antenna is a circularly polarized, wall- or ceiling-mountable antenna designed to blend into architectural environments — its slim profile and paintable white enclosure make it suitable for houses of worship, corporate boardrooms, performing arts centers, and any venue where exposed rack antennas are unacceptable.

The COMBINE4 is a 1RU rack-mount active combiner that accepts up to four IEM transmitter antenna feeds at its BNC inputs and routes the combined signal through the CP Architectural antenna. DC pass-through ports power up to four connected transmitters, reducing the need for separate power supplies. The included 25-foot white RG8X coaxial cable provides sufficient reach to route from a rack room or equipment closet to the antenna's mounted position on a wall or ceiling. The CP Architectural antenna's circular polarization ensures consistent IEM signal delivery to performers regardless of body pack receiver orientation.

Compatible with all major UHF IEM transmitter brands including Shure, Sennheiser, Sony, and Audio-Technica, this pack provides a complete, permanent IEM distribution solution. For the black-finish version of this pack, see the COMB4CP-ARCB.

Key Features

• CP Architectural Antenna (White) — Circularly polarized, wall/ceiling-mount antenna with slim, paintable white enclosure; designed to integrate into finished architectural spaces.
• 4-Channel IEM Combining — COMBINE4 consolidates up to four IEM transmitter antenna feeds into a single antenna output, reducing RF congestion and intermodulation.
• Circular Polarization — Transmits across all polarization planes, maintaining consistent signal for performers with body-worn IEM receivers in any orientation.
• 1RU Rack-Mount COMBINE4 — Full-width rack-mount combiner installs alongside IEM transmitters in a standard equipment rack.
• DC Power Pass-Through — Powers up to four IEM transmitters via DC jacks, simplifying rack power wiring.

• Corporate boardroom and conference room AV systems
• Broadcast studio and multi-purpose room permanent installations
• Commercial AV projects where architectural aesthetics are a design requirement

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between COMB4CP-ARC and COMB4CP-ARCB?

The COMB4CP-ARC includes the white CP Architectural antenna with a 25' white cable; the COMB4CP-ARCB includes the black-finish version with a 25' black cable. Both are functionally identical — the finish selection depends on the installation environment's color scheme.

Can the CP Architectural antenna be painted to match the wall?

Yes. The antenna's enclosure accepts non-metallic paint. Avoid paint containing metallic particles, which can degrade RF performance.

How many IEM transmitters can the COMBINE4 handle?

The COMBINE4 accepts up to four IEM transmitter antenna feeds. For systems with more than four channels, multiple COMBINE4 units or the COMBINE6 HDR should be considered.

Is this antenna suitable for wireless microphone reception as well?

The CP Architectural antenna and COMBINE4 are designed for IEM transmit applications. For wireless microphone receive applications, the Diversity Architectural Antenna (D-ARC) is the appropriate product.

What IEM transmitter brands are compatible?

The COMBINE4 works with all major UHF IEM transmitter brands including Shure, Sennheiser, Sony, Audio-Technica, and others, as long as they operate in the 400–800 MHz range.

Where can I purchase the COMB4CP-ARC?
