Q: 1. Have anyone tried to used them for Lectrosonics, ZAXCOM or WISYCOM receivers? How well does it work?

A: The Shure UA860SWB Passive Omnidirectional Antenna is designed specifically for use with the Shure SLX, ULX, UC, UHF, and UHF-R Wireless Receivers and covers the frequency range of 470 to 1100 MHz. We have not tested the antenna with wireless receivers from other manufacturers like Lectrosonics, Zaxcom, or Wisycom to be able to confirm compatibility.

Q: 2. Will this work with an BLX4R?

A: The UA864US can be used with the BLXR receiver unit, however would require the Shure UABIAST In-Line Power Supply due to the BLX receiver not being able to supply the bias voltage required by the antenna for proper operation. http://bhpho.to/2fZhr1E

Q: 3. Does it work with SLX-D24D G58 and H55?

A: Yes, For G58 unit as the antenna is designed for a (470-542 MHz) No, for the H55 unit as it is designed based on a (H55: 514 to 558 MHz)

Q: 4. Does it come with the mounting bracket and required connectors?

Q: 5. Can this antenna be use with two UA844+SWB connected to four QLXD4, and four ULXS4 receivers?

A: Yes, these antennas can be used with the UA844+ so long as the frequency range of the antennas cover the frequencies used on the systems.

Q: 6. Will this work for ULX-D systems?

A: The Shure UA860SWB is compatible with all UHF wireless microphone and In Ear Monitor systems with detachable antennas that operate within the range of 470-1100 MHz. In the case of ULX-D (and QLX-D) series systems, it can be used with all current bands except for the new V50 band (174.125 215.825 MHz) that operates in VHF, which is outside the range of frequencies received by this antenna.

Q: 7. Most Shure receivers have two antennas... so do I need to purchase two of these? One for each BNC cable?

A: Yes, that is correct. The UA864 manual discusses optimal antenna placement: https://pubs.shure.com/guide/UA864/en-US

Q: 8. Will this work with the 470-542 receivers?

A: Yes, the Shure UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) works with receivers that operate between 470 to 636 MHz.

Q: 9. Does it work for BLX4R j10 system?

A: Yes, the Shure UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) is compatible with the Shure BLX4R Rackmount Wireless Receiver.

Q: 10. The BLX 188 did not come with Antenna, though the 2-pack system has installation points for 2 antenna. Will these (2x) work?

A: No, the Shure UA8-470-636 Wideband 1/2 Wave Receiver Antenna (A: 470 to 636 MHz) is not compatible for use with the Shure BLX88 Dual-Channel Tabletop Wireless Receiver included with the Shure BLX188 Wireless Microphone System. The BLX88 receiver has internal antennas that are built-in, but it does not have installation points for external antennas.
