Sennheiser 522717 Wideband UHF Ground Plane Antenna Rod with Swivel BNC Connector

Passive wideband UHF antenna for Sennheiser 2000, 3000, and 5000 Series rackmount receivers

The Sennheiser 522717 is a wideband UHF ground plane antenna rod with a swivel BNC connector, designed for direct mounting on Sennheiser 2000, 3000, and 5000 Series rackmount wireless receivers and transmitters. This passive antenna provides omnidirectional RF coverage across a wide UHF frequency range, serving as both the standard-issue antenna for these receiver platforms and a direct replacement when the original antenna is lost or damaged.

The swivel BNC connector allows the antenna to be angled for optimal reception depending on the rack position and venue RF environment. Ground plane design provides consistent omnidirectional pickup suitable for applications where the receivers are positioned relatively close to the performance area and do not require remote antenna placement.
