LD Systems LDWS100DA Directional Antenna

The LD Systems LDWS100DA is a passive wide-band UHF directional antenna in a flat paddle format, labelled 500-900 MHz on the antenna itself (Thomann lists 490-960 MHz). It has a 50 Ω BNC socket and a 3/8-inch threaded mount for microphone stands, and measures 299 x 260 mm. A pair of them suits the two antenna outputs of an in-ear monitor transmitter such as the Debra ER-202 Pro, or the A and B inputs of a diversity receiver or splitter. Mounted on stands and aimed at the performance area, they move the antennas out of the rack and into line of sight, which usually does more for a marginal RF link than turning up power. Being passive, they need no power and work with any brand on BNC within their frequency range.
