Unleashing the CP Stage Antenna: A Game-Changer in Wireless Audio Installations
RF Venue introduces IP-protected, circularly polarized CP Stage Antenna
Embracing the shift in wireless audio demands, RF Venue rolls out the CP Stage antenna, designed for ultimate versatility and durability. Boasting a sleek, low-profile enclosure, this gem effortlessly mounts onto microphone stands, catering perfectly to touring bands and fly packs. Its IP-rated weather resistance signals that it's also a fitting choice for permanent, outdoor installations when wall-mounted.

"Paddle" antennas, once the norm, simply can't meet today's stringent wireless audio requirements," Chris Regan, RF Venue's Chief Innovation Officer, spills the tea. "The CP Stage is an evolution from our successful CP Beam helical and CP Architectural installation antennas, yet it's crafted with an IP-rated, rugged yet budget-friendly design. It's a diva on stage for wireless IEMs and shines bright when united with a diversity pair for capturing wireless microphone signals, rain or shine, night after night."
Circularly polarized (CP) antennas, a starPlayer in audio engineering circles for eons, have been known for their prowess in handling signal polarization mismatches and disruptive multipath interference typical in dynamic live environments. The CP Stage build comes with a 470 to 928 MHz operating range, guaranteeing top-notch performance in various global frequencies. And did we mention it's reasonably compact (10x12x1-inch footprint) and rocking a matte black paint job that vanishes effortlessly amidst the stage chaos?

"The CP Stage is a knockout," gushes Alejandro Peralta Almaguer, RF specialist at LiveS, who put the first CP Stage antenna through its paces in Latin America on wireless IEMs at concerts in Tijuana and Mexico City. "This beauty boasts an eye-catching design with an attractive price tag, and its on-field performance is off the charts. The CP Stage is set to sweep the stage for years to come."
