Frequently Asked Questions
The scan is decent for basic interference avoidance, but it's not a substitute for careful frequency management in complex environments – manual channel selection might be necessary.
Yes, the system handles higher output levels, but extremely hot pickups might require adjusting the receiver's AF output to prevent clipping.
Absolutely; the BNC connectors allow for connection of external antennas to extend the range and improve signal stability, which is highly recommended for larger stages.
