Maximizing Wireless Range Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors When on stage or in the studio, transmitters are often in close proximity to receivers. In these situations, it is good practice to reduce the transmitter output power and to use omnidirectional ¼ wave whip or ½ wave dipole antennas. These can be mounted directly to the receiver, or to a slot receiver chassis […]

When working out of a production bag, wireless receivers are generally carried in close proximity to each other and to mixers and recorders. In some cases, multiple receive antennas, generally whips, are directly connected to the receiver. To maximize range when working out of a bag, there are some basic guidelines to consider: Keep any […]
