Frequently Asked Questions

The capsule bayonet mount is standard, so you *should* be able to use compatible capsules from other brands, though LD Systems’ own capsules will offer the best integration. Capsule availability will depend on your local retailers.
Lower power is great for short distances; higher power extends the range but can increase interference. Start low and increase only if you experience dropouts.
Dynamic capsules are generally less sensitive and more robust, ideal for louder stages. Expect a more 'present' and less airy sound compared to a condenser mic’s detailed character.
