My experience matches neal grover. I am firmly a digital audio over UHF guy when budgets permit. We sell 25 plus multichannel systems a year with great success, and for budget less than friendly clients we have our creative audio analog UHF sytems that have proven remmarkely reliable.
I am the owner of Creative Audio Technologu and just saw this post.Crackle - mic is the most likely source of crackle
Antennas - At 100ft I would always use paddle antennas - my go to is 65ft from stage
Rescanning - in a perferct world it would be once and done - but it is safest to rescan...

Hi ActsTech.My personal preference is the lav in the hairline - it doesn't have to extend down the forehead to create a nasty widows peak, it is just a matter of "headroom" (pun intended) ... can you get enough gain before feedback with it another inch away from the mouth. As to...
I made the same decision for the same reason - since I manufacture mics for wireless, not being able to source the connector except thru AT USA spares department at $30 a piece and a max of 10/mpnth or quarter depending on who I spoke to it was just not worth recommending te 3000 series, so...
Also remember this is just about the cheapest piece of kit Shure has ever put their name on. To make the price point, they have taken every shortcut in pcb design possible - buy a Yugo and expect it to drive/perform like a Yugo. Static is occasionally an issue but damaged grounds in the earset...
The advent of the SLXD makes an otherwise difficult decision 10 years back when deciding between being a Sennheiser House (most of my brand specific requests lent this way) or a Shure House seem lioke one of the smartest business moves I made. At the time I got rid of my mish-mash of AT...
Lyle - I concur re costs - I started my rental flet with no-name stuff, then converted to USED Shure SLX (got up to 200 of those blighters at one time) then I added ULX and then swapped out a lot of the SLX for QLXD - was getting more and more requests for big (24+ systems), and in some...
There are 2 models - the ATEM Mini @ $300 needs the PC to encode and stream, the ATEM Mini Pro ($600) will encode and stream directly via a wired internet connection, THERE IS SETUP REQUIRED, BUT ONCE SET-UP FOR STREAMING TO YOUTUBE IT STAYS SET UNTIL YOU CHANGE IT.
Bodymics rents the ATEM Mini and the ATEM Mini Pro , that will interface with any Mac or PC with OSB it allows for 4 HDMI inputs (and most current laptops output to HDMI) Use one laptop to encode/stream and another to playback other videos, slides whatever.Rent for the ATEM Mini is $80 for...
Australia will probably sell of more spectrum in the future - talk to one of the major brand distributors (Jands for Shure, RH Cunningham (i think) for Sennheiser as they will know more.) We are a Shure rental house, but sell Shure, AudioTechnica and Sennheiser., plus our own Creative Audio...
Not sure how that last post was uploaded multiple times - sorry.On the question of time! In my experience this is usually of most consequence when actors are forced to trade mics during the play. Have extra mics and make sure everyone is fitted with their mic before the show starts, then...
Our biggest seller though are single ear worn mics - necessary to get enough gain before feedback in most of the spaces my clients work in which usually have less than optimum sound system installs - most with a pair of 15" 2 way boxes slapped on a wall. The E6 style can be manipulated to...
OK Time to add my 2 bobs worth (or 2cents worth for those of us in the US)Lyle I am an Aussie who has been in the US since 1997 - used to own the largest share in "The PA People" We were doing theatre in Sydney as far back as 1972. Now I own and run Bodymics which specializes in wireless...
