Know before you buy
Yes, the CP Beam is universally compatible with wireless systems from all manufacturers. It functions effectively as a receiving antenna for microphone systems or a transmitting antenna for IEM setups.
The foldable design is engineered for portability and rapid setup without compromising the antenna's structural integrity or signal performance. Once unfolded and locked into place, it provides the same high-quality directivity as a fixed-housing antenna.
The CP Beam is designed for easy integration and includes built-in threads for 3/8", 5/8", and 1/4" tripod mounts. This allows you to attach it to most standard microphone stands or professional camera tripods.
Yes, the CP Beam is built with a shock and drop-resistant construction, making it durable enough for demanding field environments. However, it is not weather-sealed, so you should take precautions if using it in direct rain or extreme moisture.
No, the CP Beam is a passive antenna and does not require any external power or batteries to operate. It simply connects to your wireless receiver or transmitter via a standard BNC cable.
The CP Beam features a focused beamwidth of 63° by 70°. While it offers excellent directionality to help isolate your signal and reduce interference, it is wide enough to cover a standard stage area without requiring pinpoint accuracy.
