Construction: This new antenna design features a skeletal boom made from CNC machined black Delrin.
This high-performance engineered plastic is rugged enough to provide years of service in the field. The solid brass elements locked into place using stainless steel cup point set screws to assure no movement of the tuned elements. A BNC connector rounds out the design.
Connector:
This PSC 941 Yagi antenna uses a standard 50 Ohm BNC connector:
Antenna Placement and Polarization:
Your new PSC 941 Yagi Antenna should be mounted up and away from all of your other sound equipment. The antenna should be pointed toward the actor worn transmitters. Typically, we advise that you place the antenna up at least 6 to 10 feet (2-3 meters) above your sound cart for best performance. The PSC 941 Yagi antenna has mounting provisions for mounting it either Vertically Polarized or Horizontally Polarized. The Vertical Polarization mounting scheme generally provides better RF performance. Think of it this way: You want the antenna elements mounted in the same direction as the transmitter antenna. Most of the time, the body pack transmitter worn by an actor has its antenna sticking straight upward. This is why we recommend you mount this 941 Yagi antenna in the Vertical position (with the elements point up and down)

The antenna can be mounted using an industry standard 3/8”-16TPI threaded base.
This photo shows the 3/8-16 TPI mounting threads.
This Photo shows Vertical Polarization of the antenna.
Use this mounting polarization for most applications.

This photo shows Horizontal Polarization of the antenna.
This mounting position is used when the transmitters antenna
is also mounted horizontally.
