ClearOne Extension Antenna Combiner

The ClearOne Extension Antenna Combiner is a purpose-built accessory for professional-grade audio and collaboration systems. Designed to augment wireless mic and AV setups, this compact extension antenna delivers dependable RF performance while offering installation flexibility that fits a wide range of environments—from corporate boardrooms and classrooms to live venues and worship spaces. With its 915 MHz capability, 130-degree reception pattern, and phantom-powered operation, it helps ensure clear, uninterrupted audio transmission even in RF-dense environments. Its wall, ceiling, or mic-stand mounting options make it easy to position the antenna exactly where it’s needed, optimizing coverage without sacrificing aesthetics or space. Weighing in at a light 0.45 pounds and measuring 6 inches tall by 4 inches wide by 2.5 inches deep, this accessory blends into most setups while delivering robust performance where it counts.

• Versatile mounting options for flexible installations: Whether you’re retrofitting an existing conference room, equipping a classroom for more reliable wireless mics, or setting up a touring production, the ClearOne Extension Antenna Combiner supports wall mount, ceiling mount, and mic-stand mount configurations. This versatility allows you to place the antenna in the optimal location to maximize signal strength and minimize obstructions, reflections, and potential interference. The ability to adapt to different mounting environments means fewer compromises and a cleaner overall AV setup. By positioning the antenna for best line-of-sight and RF path to the receiver, you can achieve more consistent coverage across seating areas, stages, and presentation spaces.
• High RF gain for dependable reception at 915 MHz: When reliable wireless performance is critical, the antenna delivers an impressive 15dB RF gain at 915MHz. This boost helps overcome typical room challenges such as reflective surfaces, RF noise, and furniture layouts that would otherwise degrade signal quality. The resulting improvement in signal-to-noise ratio translates into clearer vocal pickup, fewer dropouts, and more consistent performance for all wireless handheld and lavalier microphones in the system. This gain optimization is particularly valuable in larger rooms or spaces with multiple potential interference sources, ensuring dependable operation even in demanding environments.
• Broad 130-degree reception pattern for wide-area coverage: The 130-degree reception pattern provides broad coverage across the listening and presentation areas, helping to maintain robust audio links across multiple seating zones. This wide pattern reduces the need for precise antenna alignment and minimizes the risk of dead zones in typical configurations. In practice, teams can enjoy seamless mic usage from front rows to back rows, with fewer adjustments required during setup. The result is a more effortless, reliable experience for presenters, performers, and audiences alike, contributing to smoother meetings and more professional presentations.
• Phantom-powered convenience from the receiver: The antenna is designed to draw power from the connected receiver, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. This phantom-powered configuration reduces cabling clutter and simplifies installation, making it easier to integrate into existing systems without adding extra components or maintenance concerns. In environments where outlets are scarce or cable runs are constrained, phantom power helps keep the setup clean and efficient while maintaining stable operation across the RF link. This feature is especially beneficial in conference rooms, studios, and educational spaces where simple, reliable power management matters.
• Compact, durable footprint with convenient dimensions: The antenna’s compact size—6 inches in height, 4 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in depth—along with its modest 0.45-pound weight, makes it unobtrusive in most installations. Its compact form factor allows for discreet placement behind equipment racks, above podiums, or near ceiling fixtures, preserving sightlines and reducing visual clutter. The lightweight build also facilitates quick repositioning during room setup or content changes, enabling operators to optimize the RF path without requiring heavy lifting or complicated mounting adjustments. The combination of small size and strong performance makes this extension antenna an ideal upgrade for existing ClearOne systems seeking better coverage with minimal footprint.

how to install ClearOne Extension Antenna Combiner

• Plan the installation location: Choose a mounting site that provides an unobstructed RF path to the receiver and minimizes potential interference. Consider high-visibility placement away from metal fixtures or dense equipment racks that could reflect or absorb signals.
• Power considerations: Ensure the main ClearOne system is powered and operational, as the antenna is phantom-powered from the receiver. No separate power supply is required for the antenna itself, simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter.
• Mounting the antenna: Attach the extension antenna using the chosen mounting option—wall, ceiling, or mic-stand. Use the provided hardware and confirm a secure installation to prevent vibration or movement that could disrupt the RF link.
• Connect to the receiver: Use the straight connectors to link the antenna to the corresponding RF input on the ClearOne receiver. Confirm that connectors are firmly seated and oriented correctly to maintain optimal signal transmission.
• Test and adjust: Power on the system and test microphone performance across in-room locations. If necessary, adjust the antenna position to maximize the 130-degree reception pattern coverage, ensuring consistent audio performance from front to back and across seating zones.
