Frequently Asked Questions

The receiver scans for clear frequencies, then transmits that setting to the transmitter – it's quick and generally reliable, but occasionally requires manual override in dense RF environments.
It's compact, which can be a benefit, but some players might find it a bit bulky or awkward after a long set; a belt-pack option would be preferable for those users.
While the U506 BPG delivers acceptable audio, higher-end systems typically offer a wider frequency response and a more transparent, less colored sound – expect a slight 'digital' character here.
