Wireless microphones offer great flexibility, but they require careful setup to avoid frequency interference. Each radio link needs its own channel, and larger setups—8 channels or more—benefit from an experienced operator to manage frequencies, run the audio mixer, and keep everything running smoothly.
For smaller setups, a simple two-channel system is usually trouble-free. Our Sony UWP-D and equivalent kits are “best in class,” with flexible transmitters that can plug directly into standard wired microphones. In the UK, certain radio frequencies require an OFCOM licence, while others are licence-exempt but can be more prone to interference.
