Frequently asked questions
Can I use the INSTRUMENT SET for vocals?
Yes, the body-pack can accept a lavalier microphone for vocals, but it is not designed with a handheld capsule. The D5 VOCAL SET is purpose-engineered for lead vocal clarity and ambient rejection.
What is the main transmission difference between these two systems?
Both operate in the 570.1–600.5 MHz band with 120 dB-A SNR and 35–20,000 Hz bandwidth. The D5 uses an HT470 handheld transmitter; the INSTRUMENT SET uses a PT470 body-pack transmitter with mini XLR input for external mics.
Which system is better for a worship setting with multiple instruments and singing?
The INSTRUMENT SET is designed for worship and offers the flexibility of a body-pack with XLR input to switch between a lavalier for vocals and instrument pickups. The D5 is optimized for dedicated vocalists.
How long does each system run on batteries?
Both systems deliver 14 hours of operation per single AA-size battery, ensuring you stay on air through extended performances.
