Hey everyone! I'm looking into buying wireless mics rather than renting out mics for our musical. The local shop gives us Audio Technica 3000 units with various ear mics (mix of Samson and Audio Technica I believe) and I've been pretty happy overall with the quality of the units. We rent out 12 mics at a time and each group of 4 comes with it's own rack and an antenna distribution system. All of them are on the D Band units. I am thinking about just buying the same type of setup, with eventually paddles to feed all the receivers. Eventually, over the next several years would be purchasing 16 mics, receivers and transmitters, and paddles. I have a couple of questions tho.
What is the difference between the ATW-DA49 and AEWDA550-D or C?. One obviously is a full rack unit while the other is a half rack unit, and with the DA49, I'm not sure how 1 pair of paddles would be able to feed all of the distribution systems if I were to go the DA49 route.
Also, at least according to Sweetwater, the AEWDA550-D band unit is a special order, as compared to the C band and I know after reading this site and around that frequencies are up for auction in the D band. At one point I was considering to have half my units on C band and half on D band, but I don't think I would be able to connect multiple band units together. I have checked the available frequencies in my area and have more frequencies in the D band than the C band.
