Extension Antenna Cables
Government regulations severely limit the output power of wireless microphones. For a comparison, mobile
phones connect to towers miles away, but wireless microphones barely reach 300 feet line-of-sight. A mobile
phone is similar to a lighthouse that shines to the horizon, while a wireless microphone is like a penlight that
barely casts a shadow on the far side of a dark auditorium. Microphone power limitations make extension anten-
nas systems a critical component of every wireless microphone system, and coax cables are a critical part of
every antenna system. There is no room for error.
ClearOne provides antenna kits that includes the extension antennas and the cables. The cables are cut to
length, properly terminated, and individually tested at ClearOne operating frequencies. ClearOne also provides
extension antennas without cables, but it should be noted that we do not guarantee that cables that we do not
supply will have the proper loss and transmission qualities for the antenna system to function successfully.
Plenum Rated Cables have a special coating (usually Teflon) that does not give off toxic gasses and smoke when
it burns. Always use plenum rated cables when required by the codes for the project site.
ClearOne systems require 50 Ohm Coax Cable with a total line loss less than 15 dB at 900 MHz.
