UHF vs 2.4 GHz wireless microphone

The manufacture, import, sale, lease, offer for sale or lease, or shipment of wireless microphones or similar devices intended for use in the United States that operate on the 600 MHz service band frequencies (617-652 MHz and 663-698 MHz) is now prohibited.

UHF wireless microphone systems tend to be the choice for live music venues and other operators for whom sound quality and interference-free performance is key . To sum it up: If you’re on a budget, operating in a small space, and don’t need to provide audiophile sound, a VHF system is your best choice.

The wireless microphone outputs an audio signal to its connected transmitter . The transmitter sends this audio signal wirelessly through radio waves. The receiver is tuned to receive these radio waves and audio signals. The receiver outputs the balanced audio signal via an XLR cable.
