Frequently Asked Questions

It’s effective for finding clear channels, but severe interference might still require manual adjustments. The system prioritizes best available, not necessarily the strongest signal.
The MH3s are reasonably comfortable, but glasses can impact the seal and audio quality. Adjustments are key, and longer sessions might benefit from aftermarket earpads.
While physically possible with the right connector, the system is optimized for the MH3. Compatibility with other mics isn't guaranteed and may impact performance.
