Frequently Asked Questions

The receiver scans for clear frequencies, and then transmits the selected frequency to the transmitter via infrared – it’s generally quick and reliable, but occasionally requires a manual rescan.
It's fairly lightweight, but the plastic construction can feel a bit cheap, and prolonged use might lead to some hand fatigue. A belt clip would be a welcome addition.
It's noticeably less refined; you'll hear a slight compression and a less transparent sound, but for many applications, it’s perfectly adequate and a significant value proposition.
