DESCRIPTION

The Shure PA821 Antenna Combiners actively combine antenna out-

puts from up to eight PSM wireless transmitters to a single antenna, im-
proving RF performance and reducing rack clutter.

INSTALLATION

Set the power switch on the front panel to OFF before installing. Connect

the unit to an AC power source using the supplied power cable. Switch the
power ON to use the device. The power light will illuminate. Power the unit
OFF when not in use or before disconnecting the unit from the AC power
source.

8-TO-1 COMBINING:

1.

Using the supplied BNC-BNC cables, connect the 

ANTENNA 

OUTPUT 

of each transmitter to the 

ANTENNA INPUTS

 of the PA821 

(Figure 2).

2.

Attach an antenna to the 

MAIN OUT

 of PA821. For wideband appli-

cations, use PA805 directional antenna (Figure 1).

3.

Connect the PA821 to a power outlet using one of the supplied power 
cables. The PA821 contains a universal power supply to operate 
anywhere in the world.

NOTE: 

When the PA821 is powered on, the input signal 

indicators (1-8) on the front panel will illuminate if an active 
transmitter is connected to the corresponding input (1-8) on the 
back panel (Figure 1).

or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.

DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A 
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type 
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third 
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your out-
let, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.

PROTECT the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, 
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11.

ONLY USE attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12.

13.

UNPLUG this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of 
time.

14.

REFER all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the 
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is dam-
aged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus 
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been 
dropped.

15.

DO NOT expose the apparatus to dripping and splashing. DO NOT put objects filled 
with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.

16.

The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler shall remain readily operable.

17.

The airborne noise of the apparatus does not exceed 70dB (A).

18.

Apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet 
with a protective earthing connection.

19.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or 

moisture. 

20.

Do not attempt to modify this product. Doing so could result in personal injury 

and/or product failure.

USE only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table 
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the 
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when 
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid 
injury from tip-over.

This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a 
risk of electric shock is present within this unit.

This symbol indicates that there are important operating and 
maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying this unit.

WARNING:

 Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. The 

safety certifications do not apply when the operating voltage is changed from the factory setting.
