The CP Stage is a compact, ruggedized, circularly polarized antenna designed for in-ear monitor transmitters and wireless microphone systems. Building on the success of the CP Beam and CP Architectural antennas, the CP Stage offers high performance and reliability in a portable package, making it ideal for touring and band fly packs.

Housed in a lightweight yet durable IP-rated 10 x 12 x 1" weather-resistant enclosure, the CP Stage is suitable for both portable use and permanent outdoor installation. The antenna is easily connected to a microphone stand mount or wall-mounted bracket, providing a secure connection to boost signal quality for both in-ear monitors and microphones wherever you need it - rain or shine.

Most Common Questions Asked

What is the range of the Diversity Fin?

The range of any wireless system depends on a number of factors, of which antenna type is only one. Antenna placement, noise floor, and interfering signals are by far the most significant factors in determining range. Very few live sound applications exceed antenna to mic distances of 300’. The Diversity Fin will provide the same or slightly better range than paddle/shark fin antennas, under the same RF conditions - which is more than enough for most production scenarios. Those who need longer range should consider the CP Beam.

How many Diversity Fins are required per receiver?

Only one Diversity Fin is required per diversity receiver. The Diversity Fin is a polarization diversity antenna system with two antenna outputs. Simply connect output one of the Diversity Fin’s outputs to channel “A,” and the other to channel “B” on your wireless microphone receiver or antenna distributor. Consider watching the video for a better mental picture. A single Diversity Fin can accommodate four or more receivers using a single or cascaded DISTRO5 HDR antenna distributor.

Does the Diversity Fin work with in-ear monitors?

The Diversity Fin was designed for receive applications in a diversity receiver system. Although it is technically possible to use one of the two antenna elements (LPDA or dipole) for a transmit application, like an in-ear monitor, none of the Diversity Fin’s benefits will carry over to a transmit scheme. In other words, it defeats the point. You’re better off purchasing a single standalone paddle or a helical antenna to use with your wireless monitor.
