Frequently Asked Questions

It's remarkably close; the digital transmission minimizes artifacts, but you might notice a *slight* compression compared to a top-tier wired mic in very demanding situations.
Absolutely, the mic handles vocals well, but the cardioid pattern is best suited for focused instrument capture; it might pick up more stage noise with vocals.
The infrared interface is generally reliable, but direct sunlight or obstructions can temporarily interfere; it's a quick process, not a major hindrance.
