Frequently asked questions
Can the Instrument Set work for vocals?
The Instrument Set is designed with instrument-level inputs and a bodypack transmitter, not a vocal microphone. While technically possible to adapt, it lacks the supercardioid feedback rejection and vocal-optimized tone of the Vocal Set.
Can I use the Vocal Set for instruments?
The Vocal Set includes a handheld microphone, not an instrument input. It is not suitable for direct connection of guitars, basses, or line-level instruments.
Are the wireless specs identical?
Both sets operate on 2.4 GHz, support 8 coexisting systems, offer 30-meter range, deliver 1.9ms latency on a single receiver, transmit 24-bit/48 kHz uncompressed audio, and include 256-bit AES encryption. The key difference is the transducer type and input method, not the wireless infrastructure.
Which is better for a worship band with vocals and instruments?
You would need both: the Vocal Set for singers and the Instrument Set for guitarists and bassists. Both operate simultaneously on 2.4 GHz without conflict, supporting up to 8 systems in the same space.
