    General Description The UA834 provides more flexibility in wireless installations by increasing the allowable length of cable runs between a receiver and antenna. Antennas may be placed closer to the stage, or installed on ceilings and walls that maintain a better line of sight with the transmitter.

    Active antennas, such as the UA874, have a built-in amplifier, and may not require additional amplification. Caution: Use only Shure antenna accessories to ensure the best operation. Do not use splitters, combiners, or antennas that provide a DC ground. If necessary, use a BNC DC block device (compatible with the receiver RF band).
  • Page 5: Cable Maintenance

    Use 50 ohm low-loss coaxial cable, such as RG-8U. Shure offers pre-terminated antenna cables ranging from 6 to 100 feet. NOTE: When ordering cables from Shure, select the low-loss "Z" models (available for longer cables) when using frequency bands above 1000 MHz.

    The gain setting should only be used to compensate for the calculated cable signal loss. Additional signal gain does not mean better RF performance. Too much gain actually reduces reception range and the number of available channels. This is be­ cause Shure receivers are optimized to deliver the best performance when the sum of signal gain and cable loss equals 0 dB. Additional gain just amplifies everything in the RF range—including interference and ambient RF noise. It cannot selectively in­...
