I know there are many posts on here regarding use of the UA844, but I haven't seen this answered anywhere yet: What is the benefit / purpose of using daisy-chained UA844s (as recommended in the Shure user guides, and [I think] most recently discussed on this site here) as opposed to using multiple discrete UA844s, each with their own set of antennae?
The school I work for has 12 ULXS4 units, always used table-top, and always stored in their original pizzaboxes. I'm trying to convince them to rack the **** things for ease of setup/teardown and peace of mind. I know that they intend to buy 4 more in the near future. They don't always use all of them at the same time, often using either 4 or 8, depending on the size of the show/event.
I figure that the easiest way to rack these in a convenient setup would be with a few shallow 3U cases: 4 ULXS4 + 1 UA844 per case. It seems to me that each UA844 in this scenario should use its own antennae. Is there anything wrong with that? Am I missing something? Do I -have- to daisy-chain them to a master unit? Does that offer any tangible benefit? Does my proposed method create any functional hazard?
