Frequently Asked Questions
You simply point the transmitter at the receiver's sync button, and they automatically match frequencies – a quick and intuitive process.
Due to the limited frequency band and power, it's best suited for smaller productions; larger venues might experience interference.
Expect a reasonable range of around 50-75 feet line-of-sight; obstacles will significantly reduce that distance.
