Shure UA860V Passive Omnidirectional Antenna for VHF (174 to 216 MHz)

The Shure UA860V is an antenna that is passive and provides omnidirectional coverage for VHF wireless systems operating in the 174 to 216 MHz range. It receives signals from every direction, so sound engineers do not need to aim it toward each transmitter.

Created for straightforward integration, the UA860V connects directly to Shure QLX-D and ULX-D receivers and works smoothly with UA845-UWB and UA844+V antenna distribution systems as well as the UA834V in-line amplifier. This flexibility helps production teams expand channel counts or share antennas without signal loss.

Setup is quick. The antenna screws onto a standard microphone stand with the included thread adapter, and the supplied three-meter (ten-foot) coaxial cable gives enough length to move the antenna away from reflective surfaces or other obstructions. Whether it is raised on the side of a stage, installed in a house of worship, or placed in a conference room, the UA860V helps maintain clean, consistent reception.

Because the antenna is passive, it draws no power and adds no extra points of failure to a wireless rig. This reliability makes it a practical choice for touring musicians, rental companies, corporate AV teams, and anyone who depends on stable VHF performance.
