FAQ

How does a wireless microphone work?


A wireless microphone transmits audio signals via radio frequency between a transmitter (worn or held by the user) and a receiver connected to your audio console or interface, eliminating the need for a physical cable.

How far can a wireless microphone transmit?


Range varies depending on the system, but most consumer and prosumer systems reliably cover between 30 and 100 metres in open conditions. Walls and other obstructions can significantly reduce this range.
