Frequently Asked Questions

Infrared syncing is quick and easy for initial setup, but requires line-of-sight between transmitter and receiver – it's less prone to interference than some radio sync methods.
The Nexadyne 8/S has a similar dynamic characteristic, but offers a slightly more refined and present vocal tone; it's not a direct SM58 replacement but a strong alternative.
You can realistically expect a usable range of around 150-200 feet, but obstructions and RF interference will significantly impact that – testing in your venue is crucial.
