Professional Wireless Systems Pioneers Domed Helical Antenna

This summer, as he began sorting out the RF coordination for the Lollapalooza Festival, Owen Orzack, director of touring services for Ohio-based Eighth Day Sound, reached out to Professional Wireless Systems' general manager, Jim Van Winkle, for recommendations on multi-channel wireless distribution. Coincidentally, PWS was putting the finishing touches on its new Domed Helical Antenna.

"We'd worked with Owen on previous tours for various major acts, and Eighth Day already owned a number of our proprietary Helical Antennas," Van Winkle reports. "While Owen already planned to use our Helicals for Lollapalooza at Chicago's Grant Park, I said we would be happy to supply our new Domes for him to try out at the event.

Shipping immediately, the new PWS Domed Helical Antenna incorporates the circular polarization configuration pioneered by their original Helical, but seals the unit within a unique new compact "domed" design. Constructed from rugged polycarbonate, PWS Domed Helicals are designed to hold up to considerable road-related abuse. Developed to provide robust, uncompromised, multi-channel wireless microphone, in-ear, and intercom wireless connectivity, PWS Domed Helical introduces a new standard in wireless antenna performance and physical presence.

"The Dome offers the same solid benefits of the original Helical with its circular polarization and applies it to a wider coverage pattern," Van Winkle says. "In addition to Lollapalooza, we also provided Domed Helicals for the Austin City Limits Festival in September. And, Owen just let us know the Domes were very well received on tour with The Fray. Now that we've confirmed their quality and dependability we are rolling the Domes out across the industry," Van Winkle concludes.
