[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 139594, member: 67"] Re: IEM and Wireless Mics decisions (frequency bands) My only comment - stay the hell away from 2.4gHz. I was on a corpy earlier this week where the AV contractor sent 3 new ewD1 lavalier units. All worked perfectly in rehearsal but when the 600 engineers and pilots came in, 2 went to shit (on the keynote speaker, we had 2 units on him on opposite sides of his jacket... 40 foot line of sight. The same contractor also brought 6 Sabine 2.4G units that, even with the "paddle" antennae could not function with more than 4 units on and all but one would drop out or present weird artifact noises if the user got his hand close to the transmit antenna. Distance of 75', line of sight. To say I'm surprised by the Sabine failures would be a lie, but I expected much, much more from Sennheiser and based on my experience yesterday they might as well shit-can the tooling now. Good luck, Matt. [/QUOTE]
