Frequently Asked Questions
The audio is serviceable, but lacks the nuanced detail and clarity of more expensive options; consider it a good value, not a premium experience.
Absolutely; the system uses a standard 3.5mm connector, so you can easily swap in your preferred IEMs to improve the sound.
The 96 channels provide some flexibility to find a clean frequency, and the transmission power options allow you to adjust for range and potential interference, but line-of-sight remains important.
