Shure PA805X Passive Directional Antenna
General Description
The Shure PA805 is a directional antenna for increased range and reduced interference as compared to omnidirectional 1/2- wave antennas.
The PA805 can be mounted on a microphone stand or mounted to a wall using the integral swivel adapter bracket.
Using too many transmission antennas in one installation can reduce performance. To combine PSM antennas, use a PA821A Antenna Combiner.
Installation Instructions
-
Determine the length of cable required to connect the PA805 Antenna to the Wireless Transmitter or Antenna Combiner. Use only as long a cable as necessary, because there is more power loss with longer cables.
Always use low-loss 50 ohm cable, such as RG-8X or equivalent. Shure UA825 7.6 m (25 ft.) or UA850 15.2 m (50 ft.) cables are recommended. -
Use antenna cable to connect the antenna to the ANTENNA OUT of the Wireless Transmitter or Antenna Combiner.
-
Mount the antenna so that it points toward the intended coverage area.

Cable Maintenance
To maintain top performance for antenna cables:
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cables.
- Do not deform cables with makeshift clamps, such as bending a nail over the cable.
- Do not use in permanent outdoor installations.
- Do not expose to extreme moisture.
Antenna Placement
Use the following guidelines when mounting antennas:
- Antennas and receivers must be from the same band.
- Mount antennas at least one wavelength (two feet) apart.
- Position antennas so there is nothing obstructing a line of sight to the transmitter (including the audience).
- Keep antennas away from metal objects.
Always perform a “walk around” test to verify coverage before using a wireless system during a speech or performance. Experiment with antenna placement to find the optimum location. If necessary, mark “trouble spots” and ask presenters or performers to avoid those areas.
