The new CPArray antenna for wireless microphones from Kaltman Creations features micro technology that’s designed to deliver better reception than larger paddle and beam-style antennas.
With a circular polarized pick-up pattern and multi-directional focusing ability, the company states that CPArray antennas will reduce interference and drop-outs as well as help improve RF signal to noise and enhance reception of signals propagated through and around objects.
Measuring 6.7 x 6.2 x 1.6 inches (it fits in your hand) and weighing 1.2 pounds, CPArray antennas are very low-profile, well-suited for intimate venues and facilities such as auditoriums, theatres, boardrooms and worship centers.
In application, two CPArray antennas are mounted on a microphone stand Tee-bar, joined by a low-loss antenna combiner that offers the ability to selectively cover in opposing, off-set, and multi-elevation directions. This configuration provides the unique ability to focus reception in selected areas for maximum efficiency, and to avoid extraneous and interfering RF.
The IWxCPArray (model number) is passive, with a 60-degree beamwidth. The pattern is circular polarized in the 470 MHz to 960 MHz range. The antennas are painted theater black with a 50-ohm, low-loss BNC connection.
The antennas are sold in a twin-pair configuration with the Tee mounting bar for traditional “diversity” connections for $549, or with the antenna combiner for multi-directional focusing for $599. An optional 6-inch wall-mount is available for $49.
