Shure UA8 ½-Wave Dipole Antenna — 2.4GHz Wireless System Antenna

The Shure UA8 Half-Wave Dipole Antenna (2.4GHz) is a professional RF antenna designed for use with Shure's most widely deployed wireless receiver and transmitter systems, including Axient, UHF-R, ULX-D, ULX, SLX, BLX4R, PSM1000, and PSM900 platforms. Its 45-degree adjustable positioning relative to horizontal or vertical enables optimized RF reception across a range of installation and live sound environments.

For engineers sourcing a 2.4GHz antenna for Shure wireless systems, the UA8 delivers the positioning flexibility needed to minimize dropouts in crowded RF environments — whether deployed at front-of-house, at a rack-mounted receiver array, or at a distributed antenna system. The UA8 is the direct replacement for the discontinued UA820 antenna, making it the go-to upgrade path for existing Shure installations.

Compatibility spans Shure's professional and touring-grade wireless ecosystem, including the Axient Digital platform and PSM in-ear monitor transmitters, making the UA8 a reliable choice for broadcast, live production, and installed sound applications where RF stability is non-negotiable. Note that compatibility is frequency-range dependent — verify your specific receiver or transmitter model's supported frequency range before ordering.

Key Features of the Shure UA8 2.4GHz Dipole Antenna

• 45-Degree Adjustable Positioning: Enables placement at angles relative to horizontal or vertical, giving engineers greater control over RF reception patterns in complex signal environments.
• Half-Wave Dipole Design: Delivers efficient signal pickup at 2.4GHz, supporting stable wireless performance across compatible Shure receiver and transmitter systems.
• Broad System Compatibility: Works with Axient, UHF-R, ULX-D, ULX, SLX, and BLX4R receivers as well as PSM1000 and PSM900 transmitters (frequency range dependent).
• Direct UA820 Replacement: Serves as the authorized successor to the discontinued Shure UA820 antenna, simplifying upgrades for existing Shure installations.
• Professional-Grade RF Performance: Engineered for live sound, broadcast, and installed AV environments where consistent wireless reception is critical.
