As live sound audio engineers, we are often required to deploy multiple channels of wireless audio equipment to satisfy the ever-growing trend of eliminating ...

In part one of this series, We covered the basics of gain structure as it pertains to wireless mic systems, and transmitter placement. In part two, antenna types and cable loss were discussed. Now, we'll touch on antenna placement.

Transmitter Antennas
As already briefly mentioned in part one, transmitters should be placed in such a way that their antennas ...

In the last article, I covered the basics of gain structure and why proper setup is important with wireless microphones. Also, part 1 described proper transmitter placement, including the fact that many pastors and CEOs alike should have to spend 6 weeks in microphone basic training before being allowed to stand ...
