MODEL UA844 ANTENNA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The Shure Model UA844 is a UHF antenna distribution system that
allows the expansion of wireless microphone systems by splitting
one pair of antennas to multiple receivers. It also amplifies RF signals to compensate for insertion loss that results from splitting signal power to multiple outputs. A single UA844 system can support
up to four wireless receivers. A maximum of five UA844 systems
may be used in a two-tiered configuration. Refer to the illustration
on page 11.
