Understanding WIRELESS - What are BANDS, GROUPS, and CHANNELS?

You're simply a fantastic teacher, I understand everything now 😊

How would setup 4 wireless microphones for a panel discussion? Would I need four separate units or is there an all in one device?

Fantastic! I think I’m getting it all together thanks to you. I’ll be in the trial and error phase before you know it.
Thanks Scott!

Thanks for all your help. If setting different units in my rack, should I choose a different groups? I use all the same group for my two senheisser G4s. I have a 2.4 ghz dmx transmitter, and a UHF alto stealth transmitter in my rack.

look at this graph lol

Thank you, I think that was my problem with our new Shure system. I appreciate it.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks for posting this. I was asked to help sort out wireless issues at the local theater. They get a lot of static during the performances far too frequently. I have very little experience with wireless systems so this helped a lot. Will now go examine how they have their channels set up. Is there a general rule for how far the receiver should be from the transmitters? they have up to 8 mics going at a time. Sound will be clean during a mic check and then crackle on one or more mics during performance. The Receiver is placed up in the balcony near the sound booth. Probably about 100 feet away or a little more. Using a Creative Audio Technology system.

Nice video!

“Look at this graph” got me

Sir this information was so helpful. Since I mainly deal with the video side of production audio is typical not my thing. However I bought 4 Phenyx Pro True Diversity Wireless Microphone System PTU-1U units, which I could not get to work probably (lot of drop outs or no signal connection when I'm more than 10 feet away). I'm so tempted to send them back, however I try to test them again with this information that you provide. Hopefully I get them working.

Easy peezy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Very helpful! I subcribed too!😇👍

Hi Scott, I have an anleon S3 which as you know doesn't have a scan option. So you have any advice for this?

I’m finding your videos super helpful! So to make sure I’m understanding, are groups universal across a particular brand’s range? So if I get two sennheiser H55 systems, then group 1 is the same set of channel frequencies? But if I use a shure system for one thing and sennheiser for another I just need to make sure I’m using quite separated channels between the two, right (like get systems of two totally different ranges)?

perfect. this really helped me understand my new shure mic. Thank you.

Thank you for this explanation - super helpful!!

Brilliant, thank you!

If you’re on tour and setting up at different venues, should you rescan every time? Or can you “set and forget” the frequencies?

Very good tutorial Scott, I was in the mistake of thinking, that putting each body pack in different banks, would be the best for been isolated from one to other, but I was wrong ,, thank for all you help
