[QUOTE="Kevin Maxwell, post: 207522, member: 321"] As has already been said with what it sounds like you have, it will be impossible to coordinate all of these wireless systems to work all at once if there were all in one room. But since they are spread out there might be hope. Are there different bands (frequencies) in each manufacturer’s wireless that you have or are all the Sennheiser’s in one band and all the Shure’s in one band? In general with wireless the strongest thing wins. Since this is a school and not something high profile, like a concert or show you can get away with a few things that you normally wouldn’t want to even chance. If these are in every classroom and the receiver is always on and the feed from that is always up into the speakers that could create problems. If things are turned off or down when not in use then you might be able to make it all work with a lot less problems because as I said the strongest thing usually wins. I think the first thing that you need to do is figure out how far in this environment the transmitters will reach. You will need to map it all out. And by this I mean will hear a transmitter signal while listening to a receiver in one room as someone walks around the place constantly talking with a transmitter in their hand. This will be time consuming. The person walking needs to be telling you exactly where they are at all times. I would suggest that you have a whole bunch of printouts of the floor plan of the school possibly one for each receiver location. You then need to map out (mark on the floor plan) where the person was that was talking when you received them. This will tell you how far and where the coverage pattern is. Due to the shape of MBHS you might find that the outer wings where they curve in in the front may be in the coverage pattern of each other, even though they are the farthest away from each other. If this is of any help and if I can walk you thru using Shure WWB let me know and maybe we can talk. BTW I was doing a big conference in a big hotel and at some point I discovered that someone had tuned some wireless to frequencies that would have been a problem. But because they were far enough away from each other and due to the construction of the building it wasn’t a problem. [/QUOTE]
