Frequently asked questions
Can I use both products together?
Yes. The RA4000 is a receive antenna for wireless mic systems; the CGN331 E is a wired microphone. They serve different purposes and can be used simultaneously in a mixed wired/wireless setup.
Which is better for a small venue with limited budget?
The CGN331 E is more plug-and-play, requiring only XLR cable and a mixer. The RA4000 requires compatible wireless transmitters and receivers to function, making it part of a larger system investment.
What's the noise performance difference?
The CGN331 E specifies a 73 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio with 21 dB-A equivalent noise level for audio capture. The RA4000 is an antenna with 18 dB total gain designed to maximize RF signal reception, not audio noise metrics.
Which handles outdoor use better?
The RA4000 is explicitly waterproof for indoor and outdoor installations. The CGN331 E includes a dual-layer windscreen but is not specified as waterproof, making it better suited to covered outdoor positions.
