FAQ
Antennas
- Q The antennas are on the back
- Doesn't this reduce effectiveness when a receiver or transmitter is mounted in a rack with other equipment?
- A It’s a consideration between the use of 1-2 units vs. a multichannel setup.
- Front antennas would be nice to have if you drive just one or two units. If you use more transmitters and make use of a combiner, it is more useful to have the cabling in the back.

- AM 2 Antenna front mount kit (cable extensions from rear to front Rack Mount Kit]
- A For multiple units consider
- EW-D ASA Antenna Splitter for receivers
- AC-41 Antenna Combiner for IEM transmitters
- A Antenna options
- Half Wave Dipole Antenna transmitters and receivers ship with Quarter Wave antennas. You can improve performance with a Half wave dipole antenna
- ADP Directional Antenna

Limiter
- Q The specifications mention a -10 dB limiter. When I engage the limiter - I don't hear any difference. How is the limiter supposed to work?
- A Being investigated
