Frequently Asked Questions
E-band frequencies are often license-free but regulations vary; check your local broadcasting authority to confirm availability and potential interference.
Absolutely, the 3.5mm jack is standard; you can connect virtually any IEM with a compatible connector – just be mindful of impedance matching for optimal performance.
Focus Mode provides a noticeable reduction in stage noise, but it's not a noise-canceling solution; it prioritizes the signal you're receiving to minimize bleed-through.
