]]> Comment on The Big Picture – What’s in a Wireless System? by Mike http://www.benonis.net/2009/09/18/2-the-big-picture-whats-in-a-wireless-system/comment-page-1/#comment-61 Mike Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:43:25 +0000 http://www.benonis.net/?p=25#comment-61 Hi David, I have a couple of ideas on this, though I will say that ten channels is pushing it. First, you may be able to find wideband FM headphone products in the 900 MHz or 2400 MHz band designed to let users watch TV quietly. If these have a channel select option, you may be able to hack the receiver into the gramophone and use the transmitter in the booth. I am concerned that you won't be able to get ten channels of this, though. I have used FM iPod transmitters and pocket radios in the past, and these can work but are often less than reliable. I have also used a wireless microphone system in reverse, putting the receiver inside of a large old radio set piece (with a car stereo amp and speaker), and the bodypack in the booth. That system worked quite well. Sadly, I think that an IEM system would provide the best solution, even if it's expensive. Does that help?
