FAQ
What is the difference between passive and active antennas?
Passive antennas (like the RA4000 EW) require no power and work well for short cable runs. Active antennas amplify the signal for longer cables or multi-channel deployments.
Can I use this for transmitting?
Yes, the RA4000 EW is bidirectional and can be used for either transmitting or receiving in wireless systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I choose a passive antenna instead of an active one?
Passive antennas are simpler, more affordable, and require no power supply; they are ideal for short cable runs (up to 10 metres) where signal loss is minimal.
What does omnidirectional coverage mean for my wireless system?
Omnidirectional reception means the antenna picks up wireless transmitters from any direction around it, eliminating the need to orient or aim the antenna.
Is this antenna suitable for multi-system wireless setups?
Yes, the wide-band coverage from 470-952 MHz supports multiple UHF wireless microphone and in-ear monitoring systems on a single antenna.
What is the limitation of the 10-metre cable run specification?
Passive antennas experience signal loss over long cables; for runs beyond 10 metres, consider an active antenna with built-in amplification.
Does the waterproof construction enable outdoor use?
Yes, the waterproof design allows reliable outdoor installation for venues, outdoor events, and weather-exposed wireless systems.
What is the benefit of using a professional BNC connector?
The BNC connector provides a secure, reliable RF connection for professional installations and simplifies antenna setup and relocation.
What is the delivery timeline for this antenna?
Procure.ae supplies on a request-a-quote basis; contact the team for current availability and lead times.
Does Procure.ae provide guidance on antenna placement for passive systems?
Procure.ae can advise on antenna positioning and cable routing; reach out to discuss your system layout and requirements.
What frequency range does this passive antenna support?
Covers 470 MHz to 952 MHz, supporting a wide range of UHF wireless microphone and monitoring systems without external power.
What is the BNC connector used for?
The professional BNC connector provides a secure RF connection to compatible receivers and distribution equipment.
What is the maximum recommended cable run length?
Designed for cable runs up to 10 metres; longer runs should use an active antenna with amplification to compensate for signal loss.
