As anyone reading this knows, wireless systems have come a very long way since the days of 169 MHz VHF transmitters with dropouts and interference. I recall, vividly, a Peter Gabriel concert in 1982 in Madison, Wisconsin, where right before Gabriel was going to perform “The Family and the Fishing Net,” a passing taxi driver’s conversation with dispatch loudly interrupted his intro to the audience.
Being the professional he is, Gabriel handled it beautifully, but you could sense the annoyance and frustration both from him and his crew. Sure, every now and again you still have dropouts, but advances in technology and horsepower have made for a much better experience for users, techs, and the audience.

As with all of Shure’s digital wireless offerings, it’s a feature-laden unit with a lot of options, and is equipped with 24-bit A/D conversion with stated latency of only 3.2 milliseconds.
