Shure UA860V

Overview

The Shure UA860V is a passive omnidirectional antenna designed for VHF wireless systems operating between 174 and 216 MHz. It captures signals from all directions, eliminating the need to aim the antenna toward individual transmitters. This antenna is ideal for sound engineers and production teams who require reliable and consistent reception in various environments such as stages, houses of worship, and conference rooms.

Its compatibility with Shure QLX-D and ULX-D receivers, along with integration options for UA845-UWB and UA844+V antenna distribution systems and the UA834V in-line amplifier, makes it a flexible solution for expanding channel counts or sharing antennas without signal degradation. The included three-meter coaxial cable and microphone stand adapter simplify setup and positioning for optimal performance.

Connectivity and compatibility

The UA860V antenna is designed to connect directly to Shure QLX-D and ULX-D receivers, ensuring seamless integration with these wireless systems. It also supports connection to Shure’s UA845-UWB and UA844+V antenna distribution systems, as well as the UA834V in-line amplifier, allowing users to expand their wireless setups or share antennas across multiple channels without signal loss. This compatibility makes it a versatile choice for professional audio environments.

Installation and setup

Setting up the UA860V is straightforward and user-friendly. The antenna screws onto any standard microphone stand using the included thread adapter, providing a stable mounting solution. The three-meter coaxial cable offers enough length to position the antenna away from reflective surfaces or other obstacles that could interfere with signal quality. This flexibility helps maintain clean and consistent reception in a variety of venues and configurations.

Ideal uses and environments

This antenna is well suited to touring musicians, rental companies, corporate AV teams, and sound engineers working in live performance venues, houses of worship, conference rooms, and other professional audio settings. Its passive design and omnidirectional reception make it a dependable component for setups that demand stable VHF wireless performance without the complexity of aiming or powering the antenna.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
