AKG Introduces HELICAL Antenna at PLASA ShowDesigned for touring sound professionals, sports broadcast engineers, and engineers frequently operating at the front-of-house hundreds of feet away from stage, Harman's AKG introduces the HELICAL antenna. Connecting with wireless microphone or in-ear monitoring systems, the HELICAL passive circular, polarized directional antenna operates in the UHF range, carrying a frequency between 470 and 740MHz. For front-of-house engineers working from greater-than-normal distances from a stage, the HELICAL is lightweight, rapidly deployed and easily stored. The HELICAL antenna achieves 9dB gain. Connected to microphone receiver or in-ear monitor transmitter via low-loss coax cable the antenna increase the overall performance. "AKG's 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," stated Wolfgang Fritz, product marketing manager, tour sound, AKG. "With AKG's 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." HELICAL has a durable, water-resistant nylon cover and compresses from 12" to three inches 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 a N or BNC connector to receivers, transmitters, or antenna combiner. The device has a directional pattern, circular polarization and 470-740MHz-frequency range.
