    CP Beam™ Antenna

    MAP: $869 USD

    The CP Beam™ Antenna is a lightweight, circularly polarized antenna that doesn’t drop out and is designed to ensure a consistent signal with in-ear monitors (IEMs), wireless microphone systems, and other UHF communication devices. The CP Beam is easy to set up and transport – fitting in most 2ru rack drawers and weighing just 2.5 lbs – and compresses for easy storage. Unlike other bulky helical antennas that require flight cases, the CP Beam is quickly deployed and stowed.

    Product Setup

    Using a combiner is especially important for transmitting devices like IEMs. Without it, multiple IEM transmitters in a rack, each with their own whip antenna transmitting on top of each other can be a disaster for your system. These antenna farms create noise and intermod problems that can wreak havoc not only on IEM performance but neighboring wireless microphones as well. The solution is a clean rack with an IEM combiner and helical antenna.

    Most Common Questions Asked

    What is the CP BEAM designed for?

    The CP Beam provides all of the benefits of helical antennas in a lightweight, durable, folding form-factor. The CP Beam provides all of the benefits of helical antennas in a lightweight, durable, folding form-factor. Helical or “multi-polarized” antennas provide higher gain due to their coverage pattern (narrow beam width), and superior protection against interference due to the circular polarization of the antenna element.

    Why do circularly polarized (CP) antennas outperform paddle antennas? 

    CP antennas are overwhelmingly the antenna of choice for IEM transmission because the circular motion of the RF field emitted distributes the signal through all possible polarization angles. This removes the greatest risk of dropouts and noise, as most IEM belt packs are limited to a single whip antenna. 

    How do I set up a CP Beam for my IEM system? 

    For the best performance and easiest setup, when using multiple channels of IEM they should be connected to a combiner and then transmitted via a single CP antenna using the lowest gain setting that reliably works on your transmitters.
