Frequently Asked Questions

The system's Autotune and WSM software simplify frequency coordination, but dense RF environments may still require manual adjustments and channel selection.
While generally comfortable, the bodypack's size and weight can be noticeable over long periods; adjustability is key for optimal comfort.
The system is designed primarily for the included MKE2; while other mics *might* be compatible, Sennheiser doesn't officially support or warranty use with non-Sennheiser microphones.
