Comtek LW-216 1/4-Wave Whip Antenna

The Comtek LW-216 is a high-performance 1/4-wave whip antenna built for M-216 transmitters. It uses a 2.5mm locking connector that prevents accidental disconnection during use. The design targets clear, uninterrupted audio transmission in professional environments. Sound engineers, videographers and audio enthusiasts gain a reliable signal path for critical work.

Replaces damaged or lost original antennas

When the supplied antenna is broken, missing or no longer holds a secure fit, the LW-216 restores the intended link quality. The 2.5mm locking connector ensures a stable mechanical and electrical connection that a worn push-fit cannot match. Upgrading is worth it whenever drop-outs or intermittent audio trace back to the antenna interface. No other transmitter models are supported by this specific connector.

Optimised for M-216 transmitter range

The 1/4-wave geometry is tuned to the operating band of the M-216 system, delivering the gain and pattern the manufacturer specifies. It comfortably handles typical stage, field and studio distances where line-of-sight is maintained. Performance drops off when obstacles block the Fresnel zone or when the transmitter operates beyond its rated output power. The antenna adds no active circuitry, so headroom is defined entirely by the transmitter itself.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5mm locking connector on the LW-216 fit directly into the M-216 transmitter without an adapter?

Yes, the 2.5mm locking connector is engineered for M-216 Transmitters that use a 2.5mm microphone input, so it plugs straight in.

How do I secure the LW-216 to the transmitter so it does not pull out during a shoot?

Push the 2.5mm plug in until the locking mechanism clicks; the lock holds the antenna firmly and prevents accidental disconnection.

When should I replace the LW-216 whip antenna?

Replace it if the whip is bent, the connector feels loose after locking, or you notice a drop in transmission range and audio clarity.
