Why Do Pros Use Gear Like the RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna?

Why do professional sound mixers use antennae like the RF Venue Diversity Fin Antenna? In this episode, we talk about wireless microphone antenna basics and demonstrate how the Diversity Fin extended the range of the Audio Ltd. A10 wireless system by about 25 meters when recording outdoors in a wide open space.

I purchased all of this equipment myself and no companies or anyone else has paid me to make this video.

Godox WMicS1 Dual Channel Wireless Microphone System - Budget Consumer Grade System

In this episode, we have a look at and listen to the Godox WMicS1 UHF wireless microphone system. This budget wireless microphone system features a dual channel receiver and you can buy it in a kit with two transmitters. You can also add a handheld wireless interview microphone later. What differentiates this from the slew of other dual channel consumer wireless systems is that the Godox WMicS1 transmits over a Wideband range of frequencies (514 -596MHz) This frequency can, in theory, transmit through barriers more readily than the 2.4GHz used by most other consumer wireless systems. And perhaps more importantly, you can tune each transmitter to one of 96 channels. You cannot do that with the 2.4GHz consumer wireless systems. Let’s have a look at how it works in real-world conditions!
