Beyerdynamic WA-ATDA Active Directional Wideband Antenna (470–1000 MHz)
The Beyerdynamic WA-ATDA is a log-periodic active directional antenna covering 470–1,000 MHz UHF, delivering selectable gain of 0, 6, or 12 dB and a lobe polar pattern that rejects rear RF interference for dependable wireless microphone reception indoors or outdoors.Overview
The Beyerdynamic WA-ATDA is a passive and active logarithmic periodic directional antenna designed for indoor and outdoor use with professional wireless microphone and monitoring systems. Its lobe polar pattern provides significantly better suppression of interfering RF signals from the rear compared to omnidirectional half-wave antennas, making it the preferred choice for demanding radio-frequency environments. The antenna operates across the full UHF band from 470 to 1,000 MHz and is compatible with all wireless receivers using an 8–9 V antenna supply voltage.

FAQ
What is the advantage of the log-periodic design over a standard omnidirectional antenna?
The log-periodic lobe pattern concentrates reception toward the front and rejects signals from the rear, reducing multipath interference and improving range in congested RF environments.
Is the WA-ATDA compatible with my existing antenna splitter?
Yes, the WA-ATDA is compatible with all antenna splitters and receivers that supply 8–9 V DC on the antenna input, including the Beyerdynamic WA-AS4.
Can the WA-ATDA be used outdoors?
Yes, it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, making it suitable for live events, sports venues, and outdoor broadcast applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use a directional antenna with my wireless microphone system?
The WA-ATDA mounts onto your receiver and picks up RF signals from the direction you aim it, rejecting interference from behind to give cleaner reception. Point it toward your performers or speakers during live events, broadcasts, or conferences.
Can this antenna work both indoors and outdoors?
Yes, this log-periodic antenna is designed for both indoor venues like conference halls and studios, as well as outdoor events and outdoor broadcast setups where RF noise is higher.
What is the benefit of a 12 dB gain setting on this antenna?
The 12 dB setting provides the strongest amplification, allowing you to receive weak or distant signals reliably, such as wireless mics from performers far from the receiver in large venues or noisy RF environments.
Why is a directional antenna better than an omnidirectional one for live sound?
Directional antennas focus reception toward the stage or presenter and reject interference coming from other directions, reducing dropouts and feedback issues common in events with multiple RF sources.
What frequency range does this antenna cover?
It covers 470–1,000 MHz UHF, the standard band for most professional and prosumer wireless microphone systems used in venues, productions, and events.
How do I switch between gain settings on this antenna?
This active antenna has selectable gain of 0, 6, or 12 dB; switch settings directly on the antenna or via your receiver depending on signal strength and ambient RF conditions in your venue.
How quickly can Procure.ae deliver this antenna to our office in the UAE?
Delivery times depend on stock and your location within the UAE and wider GCC region. Contact the Procure.ae team with your location to request a quote and current lead time.
