Alright, so we're outside the Brisbane region, but by the looks of it we're inside the Gold Coast region anyway. Basically, the best solution to this would be to get new microphones which operate on UHF instead, correct?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't VHF TV being phased out? And unfortunately, we don't currently have the funds for 12 new packs. Do you have a link to where I could find out about the areas? I've searched ACMA's site several times, but couldn't find anything useful. I was told they were...

From memory, I think we have a sort of "master", which has 4 antenna outputs and 2 antenna inputs, so it passes the signal on. The outputs from these are plugged into the inputs for the receivers. I could be wrong on this however.I'm reasonably sure that the mics can't be tuned outside of...

We're actually running the microphones on 180-200Mhz (VHF), not UHF. That does sound like the company though.We had our technical consultant come in and he advised us to daisy-chain the antennas for the receivers, and everything seems to be working now. Previously, we had one or two antennas...

I'll get some ASAP. We've started sticking aluminium foil to the top of the antennas on the belt packs, and that seems to be working for now.

We had a major failure during the opening night with our sound effects. At a scene where a gunshot was meant to be played, we got ready and... hit the wrong button (Delete on the numpad instead of Enter), which caused a Windows error noise. We were almost gutted alive for it, though, I...

OK, I'll try doing this and see if it does anything. If it does turn out to be heat, what could we do to work around this? It's a model made by a local company, IJS. I don't remember the actual model number off-hand. Sorry, I meant to say noise. We're having several microphone changes...

We're coming up on the opening night of a school musical (Sweeney Todd) and we're noticing interference coming through the wireless microphones. We've noticed that though we start off with no interference, it gradually increases, and we've put it down to a static buildup, due to the microphone...

Ah, awesome, I was considering donating anyway. :)

Haha, knew I forgot something :P [-] Where exactly is that located?[/-] Saw it as I was typing. Thanks :)

Hi everyone, I'm a high-school student on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland. I joined to see what's happening in the world of sound and lighting systems and to gain more general knowledge about theaters and setups. Our school theater is getting a much needed upgrade/refurbishment in the...
