Question 1

If I order 2 units will they be the same channels?

Accepted Answer

We did this.   It works just fine as long as you don’t turn on 2 mics on the same channel at the same time.  So you have to get religious about switching mics off when not speaking.   I.e. when a mic is off, it doesn’t just get muted, it stops transmitting.  So then if you turn on both (e.g.) channel 3 mics, there are 2 transmitters on nearly the same frequency and it tends to squeak and squawk a bit.  That’s why they don’t allow 2 radio stations on the same frequency in a local geographic region.  They squeak and squawk bashing against each other at your radio.

Oh, BTW this means that you only use 1 of the 2 receiver boxes you bought with each of its 8 channels servicing 2 microphones.  So you have a spare receiver box.

Question 2

Can I connect this unit to PC microphone jack?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We did that a few weeks ago. You do need the 1/4" to 1/8" adapter of course. But our unit had a lot of hum/hiss in it, rendering it unusable.I'm thinking that cabled versions (shielded cables) might be an option (saw them in Russia recently, ironically).But I decided this is awkward unless you have one mike per person, so I'm looking at sensitive microphones. Some seem to be able to cover large areas. For which a USB interface seems to be suggested, not plug in. Sound cards in PCs seem to not be adequate for good results, I've read - and experienced.

Question 3

Can the microphones be used to connect to an ipad, which will then be used via a usb mixer, for a google hangouts call?

Accepted Answer

The microphone receiver has an XLR and a 1/4 inch jack for audio out. As long as your mixer has one of these connectors or you have the appropriate adapter. I connect the mics to my mixer via XLR. At the same time I connect the 1/4 inch jack to an input on a public address system. The mixer connects to a BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle via RCA connectors adapted from an 1/4 inch jack. The shuttle connects to my computer via Thunder Bolt or USB depending on which type I'm using (PC or MAC).

Question 4

Is there a sleeping mode on the receiver if we don't use any microphone for let's say 2 days? Does the receiver turn off?

Accepted Answer

Greetings!  I have purchased 2 sets of these mics and use a 3rd.  (Used in two churches for worship & meeting Zooms, and by our Presbytery for meetings).  To my knowledge, the receiver does not have a 'sleep mode'.  But to be fair, I don't leave the receiver on, nor do I leave the batteries in the mics, beyond the time they are being used.
