Aquilasfx Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Hello I recently modded my sennheiser G4. what kind of sma antenna to cut do you suggest to use? I found zaxcom (straight version that is in kit 2 pieces to be cutted) for around 28$ kit. There is also audioroot swivel version for 30$ each one (60$ for 2). Remote audio miracle whip (straight version) 60$ for 2 antennas. The zaxcom ones seems the cheaper one. Are zaxcom good? Is the swivel version of the sma connector worth for the extra price? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek H Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Lectrosonics straight version is indestructible. Just order it in the closest block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done. Basically an antenna is very very cheap. I have both of the antennas in your first two links. I don't recommend the ones in the first link. The wire is a solid spring wire that easily takes a permanent bent shape if bent too far. I accidentally ordered those one time instead of the ones in the second link. They are no good. The antennas in the second link are good. It uses multi-strand stainless wire, is very flexible, does not kink. You'll need some really good cutters to cut the wire. Even then, it takes a lot of nipping with the cutters to cut the strands. You'll ruin scissors trying to cut the stranded wire. I use a cut off angle grinder. Also notice that although it says it is for 700Mhz, the antenna is 16cm long, so it's plenty long for lower frequencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a quarter wavelength whip antenna, 16 cm would be 470 MHz. You can use the numeric length guide on Lectrosonics.com to get a reasonable approximation for your frequencies if you want to trim to your blocks. https://www.lectrosonics.com/downloads/category/1-accessories.html?download=22:amj Best Regards, Larry Fisher Edited March 17 by LarryF Wrong link.
