Members johnnychange Posted May 10, 2012 Members Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just have a quick question about which in ear monitor system. I might be the only one in the band for awhile using anything wireless and I need to decide if band M or band L is better or does it matter? We might open for other larger acts that are using wireless equipment but this IEM unit will be the only part of our equipment that is wireless. Thanks!

Members BillESC Posted May 10, 2012 Members Share Posted May 10, 2012 Either should be fine. With one hundred selectable channels, you'll always find one that will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play mostly local, contact AT tech support, give them your zip code, and ask them what is best for your location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KF650SB1000 Posted May 10, 2012 Members Share Posted May 10, 2012 Or you can go do it yourself by checking out the Sennheiser or Shure Frequceny. http://www.sennheiserusa.com/findFrequency/ http://www.shure.com/americas/support/tools/wireless-frequency-finder/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dboomer Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 I need to decide if band M or band L is better or does it matter? The answer definitely matters according to where you are. Since your signature doesn't contain your location I can't help you. So where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Audio Technica has a frequency finder app on their website... use it. Yes, as Don mentioned it does matter greatly... especially if you need to add more wireless units in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheDoctorMo Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 My wife and I share an AT M3 transmitter with two receivers. I'm pretty sure it's the M-band version. If we were to add another transmitter, should it match the band we already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on available spectrum in your area BUT if possible I would share the M band because that way your receivers are universal to whatever mixes or transmitters on M band that you use by changing frequency.

Members TheDoctorMo Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Good idea. Thanks! I'm pretty sure we have plenty of available frequencies. When I first got the unit, I kept scanning through different frequencies and found several that worked without problem. When the newness wore off, I just stuck with one frequency and haven't had any problems with it. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dboomer Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hey Mike "L" band would be a much better choice in your area as you have several channels plus one of your "safe harbor" channels (Ch 35) in that band. That's not to say that M will not work, but your chances of finding interference free channels would be easier with L ... especially as time goes on.

Members TheDoctorMo Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 So, an L mixed with my M shouldn't be a problem, either, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 So, an L mixed with my M shouldn't be a problem, either, right? Right, unless you want to swap a receive on the other mix, or lose a receiver and want to substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnnychange Posted May 12, 2012 Author Members Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thank you for all of the informative replies! I am located in the central Virginia area. I will check and see what is best for my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
