Frequently Asked Questions
Focus Mode narrows the receiver's bandwidth, filtering out signals outside the immediate area, effectively reducing stage bleed and feedback – it’s not noise cancellation, but it’s surprisingly effective.
Yes, the 3.5mm output is standard and should work fine with most IEMs, although you might notice a slight difference in sound quality depending on the IEM's impedance and driver characteristics.
The infrared sync simplifies frequency scanning, but in densely populated RF environments, finding a completely clear channel can be tricky; you might need to adjust antenna placement or consider a wider frequency band system.
