Problem Possible Cause Solution Comment
The audio
is noisy or
distorted. This
can include
drop outs, white
noise, bursts,
pops, and clicks.
The RF signal is
weak.
Make sure there is an unobstructed line of sight
between the receiver’s and the transmitter’s
antennas. Keep in mind that your body, clothes, and
onstage sets are possible obstructions.
Make sure the receiver and transmitter are within the
250 ft. (76.2 m) range.
If there are obstructions, you may need to move closer.
Intermodulation
distortion
If the transmitter antennas are too close on multiple
systems, they can cause intermodulation distortion
between systems. Make sure the antennas are at
least 3 ft. (0.9 m) away from each other.
On a single system, the transmitter and receiver
antennas should be at least 8 ft. apart at all times.
The input level
on the camera,
recorder, or mixer
is too high.
Turn down the audio input level on your camera or
recording device. Lower the audio output level on the
receiver.
Turn down the gain on your mixer.
If there is no adjustment on the device, and the
level is still too high, adjust the microphone level on
the transmitter. Keep this level as high as possible
without distortion.
Make sure the talent is aware of the receiver
and knows not to change the controls unless
instructed otherwise.
Make note of your level settings before recording.
