Frequently Asked Questions

The true diversity significantly reduces dropouts and interference compared to standard receivers, but extreme RF congestion may still require careful channel selection.
While LD Systems transmitters within the same frequency range *should* work, guaranteed compatibility is only confirmed with designated U508 series transmitters – using others is at your own risk.
The pilot tone is crucial for ensuring the receiver locks onto a transmitter, preventing unwanted audio output and interference; it's not optional.
