Shure UA844+V/LC VHF Antenna Distribution System
The Shure UA844+V/LC VHF Antenna Distribution System expands wireless microphone setups by splitting one pair of antennas to feed up to five receivers while amplifying the RF signal to compensate for insertion loss. Operating in the 174-216 MHz VHF range, it ensures reliable signal distribution with low distortion for professional applications. Constructed for rack installation, the system includes front-mounting antenna hardware and rack-mount hardware, along with DC power distribution to support connected receivers. It simplifies large-scale wireless deployments in houses of worship, live stage, theater, and rehearsals by reducing cable clutter and setup complexity while allowing cascade configurations for expanded systems.
This less-cables variant focuses on core distribution functionality, providing consistent RF performance and power feeds tailored for compatible VHF receivers. The active design maintains signal integrity across multiple outputs for dependable operation in sound reinforcement environments.
