I’ll be there and presenting a class on “Avoiding Wireless Mics Dropouts” at 3pm on Wednesday June 8th.

Here's an easy, up-to-date method to determine the best blocks top usehttps://www.rfvenue.com/blog/how-to-choose-frequency-blocks-for-wireless-mics

The RFV bandpass filters are 6th order filters so the cutoff is pretty steep. @598MHz you could expect about 40dB of attenuation. Btw… the filters also have 3.5 dB of loss which might be the padding you need to get your gain structure optimized. Padding the signal will improve the sensitivity...

The way to know if just about any system will work at what power and with what antennas in a venue is to create a Link Budget because what works at one venue if you were to move it down the street may not work at another. It is fairly simple to do once you understand how it works...

Agreed!But I think we've drifted a bit off topic which was when I wander off stage ... So if anyone is still interested in that maybe this will help -As far as IM, digital or otherwise ... the less of it you have the more open spaces you will have to be able to assign mics and ears to...

Do remember that wireless mic/ear systems work best TOGETHER at the lowest power levels that will work in a situation. So you want to avoid turning up the Tx power if it is not necessary. When you are getting drops backstage and in dressing rooms I’m imagining you are no longer in line of...

In RF1 mode, wi-fi itself will not bother the operation of Line6 wireless mics as long as it does not overload the front end of your receivers.

No doubt that interference caused by out of bound sources can ruin your wireless day. T-mobile’s pink lightening bolts are likely creating IM interference down to about 550MHz and video walls, LED lighting and security radios are coming at you from the low end of the band. Adding simple...

True enough when this article was written, but that may not be the case any more. The article is old and does not take into account the pink lightning bolts from T Mobile. While they have been operational in most of the US for years, there were essentially no phones that operated on band 71. Now...

Ok ... with that wonderful summation we are in complete agreement. I standardly high pass almost everything except those things I send to aux fed subs. Of course having aux fed subs is also chopping off the very low frequencies as well but in my opinion they are better cut at the front end of...

@ronI guess I‘m not understanding your statement as it seems to contradict itself.

Glad it’s fixed. However HPFs will help reduce footfall

High pass filters on their individual channels should help.

They are being re-assigned.What I am saying is that after the FCC repacks the OTA-TV channels for your area, these channels will (should be) open in your area. So you should plan your system so that your systems will be able to tune in this space. You are a lot luckier than most. Where I am...

Looks like after the repacking for the SF Bay Area, you will have open channels 23,24,25,26,33 and 35
