RF Venue CP Stage Antenna for Wireless Mics & IEMs

About: RF Venue CP Stage Antenna for Wireless Mics & IEMs

The CP Stage is a compact, ruggedized, circularly polarized antenna designed for in-ear monitor transmitters and wireless microphone systems. Building on the success of the CP Beam and CP Architectural antennas, the CP Stage offers high performance and reliability in a portable package, making it ideal for touring and band fly packs. 

Housed in a lightweight yet durable IP-rated 10 x 12 x 1" weather-resistant enclosure, the CP Stage is suitable for both portable use and permanent outdoor installation. The antenna is easily connected to a microphone stand mount or wall-mounted bracket, providing a secure connection to boost signal quality for both in-ear monitors and microphones wherever you need it - rain or shine.

• Built for Better IEMs: Unreliable IEMs are a disaster for live performers. The CP Stage out performs paddle antennas. Circular polarization provides a consistent signal to IEM body packs regardless of performer orientation.
• Circular Polarization: Unlike "paddle" or "fin" antennas, CP Stage features a low profile circularly polarized element that delivers optimal 360º signal for IEM bodypacks and wireless microphones.
• Ruggedized IP-Rated Enclosure: Built to withstand permanent outdoor installation and the abuse of global tours and flypacks, the CP Stage will remain protected in case of weather, mic stand falls or other mishaps on the road.

Circularly polarized or "CP" antennas have been the go-to choice of monitor engineers and RF pros for many years.  RF Venue's CP Beam helical is staple on tours worldwide.  With a CP antenna, signal is transmitted or received in a 360º or "corkscrew" like pattern.  This allows a high quality RF link between your bodypack IEMs or wireless mics that are moving around stage and changing their position relative to the antenna.  When using paddle antennas, these systems are more likely to drop out when moving around.  Upgrade your old paddle antennas to hear the difference.  

• Note: For an in-ear monitor system, one CP Stage Antenna is required, but for wireless microphones, two CP Stages are needed for diversity receivers.
