FAQs
Is this good for a pastor to use for Church
yes you can use the microphone system in the church. For more info, kindly visit our website pyleaudio.com. Type the model number on the search box PDWM1988B.
What is the frequency range of the microphone?
our sincere apologies but we don’t have that info for now. We will ask the factory to provide that information so we can post the answer here. You may check other details of the unit by visiting our website pyleaudio.com. Type the model number on the search box PDWM1988B for more details.
Does anyone know the difference between this model pdwm1988b and the pdwm1988b.5 that are on here and on Pyle’s site?
sometimes because we have listing conflicts we change the model number one or two digits. Specs and other features of the unit are the same.
Will in ear monitors work with this?
Unfortunately no. It is not compatible with ear monitors. For more info, kindly visit our website pyleaudio.com. Type the model number on the search box PDWM1988B.
Does this unit need to be connected to a speaker or an amplifier to work?
yes you have to connect it to your amp/receiver using 1/4″ cable.
Is this compatible with a laptop for video conferencing?
this unit needs to be connected to an amplifier using 1/4″ inches mic cable. However, we have a computer ready microphone and that is our PUSBMIC50 model. Please check the link below.
How many units can operate within close distance, room to room, to each other? I see it is 16 channels of frequencies, could 16 operate reliably?
I couldn’t say for sure to be honest. But what I know from being in a band many years ago, as long as you are using different frequencies, you should be good.
Can wireless mics be used very far?
To prevent unwanted interference outside of the realistic range of a wireless microphone system, the government controls the radio signal strength from a wireless microphone transmitter. Depending on the situation, a transmitter’s effective range is normally between 100 and 1,000 feet.
Why does the wireless microphone not function?
Signal blockage is one of the most prevalent issues with wireless networks. Signals can be impacted by metal, walls, and even the human body. You can only shift your receivers around to find a nice position that isn’t blocked if there isn’t much you can do about signal blockage.
Can any receiver be used with a wireless microphone?
No, as wireless microphones may employ incompatible frequencies, exclusive noise reduction circuits, and safe 128- or 256-bit encryption, they will NOT function with any receiver. However, a wireless microphone can be used with a variety of receivers from the same manufacturer’s compatible model line.
Can many wireless mics be used simultaneously?
No, it won’t work like that. One active microphone transmitter at a time can only have its signal demodulated by a wireless receiver. However, as long as only one transmitter is turned on at any given time, you are free to utilize either one.Why do wireless microphones cut out?
It can be difficult to do this, though, as interference, faulty antenna cables, antenna distribution issues, frequency selection, and antenna positioning are just a few of the problems that can result in wireless system dropouts.
Why does a wireless microphone suddenly stop working?
Numerous factors, such as antenna positioning, subpar antenna cables, issues with antenna distribution, frequency selection, interference, etc., can result in dropouts in wireless microphones. Dropout problems will be solved by trial and error.
Does WIFI affect the performance of wireless microphones?
Wireless microphones using the 2.4 GHz band, which are less prevalent than the industry standard UHF mics, can and can interfere with WIFI devices, including WIFI-capable smartphones.
How can I link my phone to my wireless microphone?
(iOS) Tap Bluetooth under Settings on your phone. Your device should be shown under “OTHER DEVICES” at the bottom; choose it and connect. Swipe down from the top of the screen on an Android device, tap and hold Bluetooth, then select the keyboard from the list of devices to link.
