Start 8 is a wireless microphone which operates in the VHF frequency range. Nowadays, most of wireless devices work on UHF range. Operating in VHF band means avoiding all the interferences due to the presence of many others kind of wireless devices, allowing the system to transmit and receive a “clean” signal.
Available in 2 versions (handheld or belpack+headset), Start 8 operates on 16 different channels on 3 different bands; F1 174-184MHz / F2 190-200MHz / F3 206-216MHz. Moreover, the receivers adopt PLL Diversity technology, with two discrete antennas selecting at any moment the best radio signal.
The microphone also features a low power consumption: up to 10 hour operation with standard AA batteries.
