Know before you buy
No, the UA221 is a passive device and does not require any external power to operate.
Yes, the UA221 is designed to function as both a signal splitter and a signal combiner, allowing for flexible antenna management.
The kit includes two passive splitter/combiner units, four coaxial cables for connectivity, and the necessary hardware for mounting.
Because it is a passive device, you should expect some signal loss when splitting the signal. It is best suited for setups where you have sufficient signal strength to accommodate this inherent loss.
The UA221 is designed for use with Shure wireless systems that utilize BNC-type coaxial connections. It is compatible with most standard RF antenna setups, but you should verify your system's frequency range and connector type before installation.
