hi all, Quick experience needed question:
I have a couple of Camera mounted Sennheiser EW100 G2 tie mics (omni) -
used in a church hall setting. They sound lovely, except when
occasionally the signal fades slightly; the "rf" meter fades a bar or
2, there is s slight 'whooshing' noise on the receiver...anyone have
any idea what that is and how i can avoid it? Why would a tie mic
suddenly loose a signal like that, just for a few seconds at a time?
Interference?

Thanks

** A novice with radio mics are you ????

The only way to guarantee no such "drop outs" us to use cables.

There are new DTV (Digital TV stations) going on the air almost every
day. Most of these are in the UHF band same as many radio mics. You
NEED to check the frequency you are going to use. The new DTV stations
transmit 8VSB format which is a digital format and the RF signal looks
exactly like NOISE to analog gear. It won't make the heterodyne
whislte type of interference we are all used to, it just makes noise.
So check antennaweb.org to see which channel (frequencies) are
occuppied n your area. And then set up your raio mic on an unused
frequency.

Could be interference, could be dropouts. Do you see signal on the
meters occasionally with the mikes turned of? If so, you got some
other stuff on the channel.

If the meter drops rather than rises when the problem occurs, a dropout
is more likely. Try walking around the room with the receivers fixed
in place and see where the dead spots in the room are.
