Five Common Wireless Microphone Problems SOLVED!

Almost nothing tanks an event more quickly than microphone issues. For wireless users, troubleshooting your system requires knowing the potential points of failure that could interfere with proper functions. Sweetwater’s Mitch Gallagher is here to break down the five broad issues wireless users run into: channel coordination, dropouts, interference like noise or static, signal blockage, and battery problems. Mitch explores how to tackle these problems so you can enjoy smooth wireless sound in all its glory. Check it out!

We use a Sennheiser wireless mic system that we got from Sweetwater some years ago. Because the venue is different every show, the available clear frequencies are different. The Sennheiser really helps - the receiver will scan for a "free" channel. Once it finds one, you then link the transmitter to the receiver (with a single button push) and the mic switches to that same clear frequency. Simple, and it Just Works. We couldn't be happier with this system! It's robust and reliable.

Do we Have Mics That Capture signal at a distance of over 200 meters away? All I know off is a boom mic that can do about 20 feet away.

While the fm mic was being used there was some kind of a big popping sound at the main speakers, , can it be due to signal interference?

Hey, are you guys going to do a review on the Logitech Blue Sona? I'm waiting on that one to drop before i buy.

I stumbled across this video while searching for a solution for my issue. Maybe you can help me with it. I have an AKG Ultra High Frequency wireless mic set up. It works fine, but when I turn the microphone off at the microphone, there is all kinds of static and popping going through the speakers. Also, if I leave the microphone on for very long (over 2 minutes) the sound no longer transmit (we cannot hear it through the speakers). Once I turn the microphone off (at the mic) I get the static and popping noise again. I've changed batteries in the mic, so that's not the issue. Any idea as to what is causing this popping noise?

I have a 4 Channel Phenyx Pro system and it cuts out so much. It’s quite frustrating because I’ve tried everything.

Hi Mitch. Thanks for this informative video. We keep expriencing VERY LOUD (speaker blowing loud!) static/distortion when the receiver is on and the mic (transmitter) is turned off. It is'nt all the time, but it happens more often than we'd like. I know that it's directly related to how much RF interference there is on that particular channel. I've tried to change the frequencies, but we can only do so much, because our frequency options are very limited on each mic. Our mics are Sennheiser EV100 G3 wireless (500Mhz), purchased from Sweetwater. any advice would be appreciated.
