If you are having trouble with your wireless mics, answering the following questions in your initial post will help us solve your problem quicker.

- What problem are you seeing? Is it dropout, interference, completely nonfunctional, etc?
- How many systems are you using?
- What make and model are your systems (could be multiple)
- What band-split do the systems operate in (could be multiple)
- What frequencies (channels) are each mic set to? Are these frequencies coordinated using software (see the FAQ in a separate thread)?
- Where are the receivers located?
- Where are the receiver antennas located?
- Are you using any kind of antenna split/distribution system?
- Do you have any other wireless devices in the area (TV-band, so things like wireless intercom, IFB/In-Ear Monitors, etc. NOT Wi-Fi, this won't affect mics).
- What major TV stations are in the area? Are any within the mic's bandsplit? How far away is the transmitter from your location?
- What solution(s) have you tried already? Did it help, hurt, or do nothing?
- Do you have your manual around?
