How many wireless mics can I run at the same time?
Each microphone needs its own frequency to operate and transmit properly. So it is not possible to use two wireless systems on the same frequency in the same venue or to use two wireless microphones with just one receiver. The individual frequency used by each microphone requires a certain amount of space within a particular frequency band. When two wireless systems are used together, the frequencies must be separated by at least .5 MHz. If frequencies are set too close, microphones will compete with each other, and each system will experience noisy interference and/or sound dropouts. As more transmitters and receivers are added to a particular setup, interaction between frequencies increases. So does the potential for signals crossing over one another and creating interference.
