Frequently Asked Questions

The receiver scans the available frequencies and selects the clearest one. While it’s effective for basic interference avoidance, don't expect professional-grade interference rejection in very crowded RF environments.
The transmitter is a standard size and shape, but the metal housing can feel a bit heavier than plastic alternatives, which might be noticeable during longer performances.
No, the system is designed specifically for the included dynamic capsule; swapping it out isn’t supported and could damage the transmitter.
