Paddles at each end help.
Also, one Tx can reach multiple Rx

[Scott Helmke]

Is there a downside to the approach of Board to IEM TX and then Body pack receiver, TRS 1/8th wired TS to XLR M and powered speaker ?   This sounds like the cheap seats to me...

The only real downsides are
a) battery powered, so possible failure if not periodically checked
b) can't put a bigger antenna on Sennheiser Evo packs.

The upside is that it's practically invisible, you just tape the pack to the top of the speaker and let the antenna stick up.

Sounds like using an IEM TX to a wireless mic RX is the other viable solution.  That sounds like buying 2 complete systems to me.  Which if it is absolutely the way to go, is not beyond reach.

The advantage of using an IEM transmitter to Mic receiver is that it lets you use directional paddles or helical antennas at both ends, maximizing you RF signal to noise ratio.

For some remote fill speakers the pack fits perfect in the handle pocket on the top of my RCF speakers.

Done that many times!!

My Lectro and other belt packs will also clip right on to a small length of 4" cable path tape (the kid with no adhesive in the middle) which allows for remote mounting anywhere you can stick the tape.

Dipping my toe into the IEM solution first.  Had a brief conversation with Galaxy Audio.  Ordered one of their units in the 500 mhz range.  If the IEM solution alone proves unsatisfactory, they have a wireless mic receiver in the same band.  There is a jumper to be installed.  That I would put on a switch.   They also have a paddle antenna I can add at $199.


If I get call for more than one week a year, I may step it up if there are performance gains to be had.

Hope to be testing next week.

Thanks for all the inputs.

well, the Galaxy showed up.  seems to work fine.  audiomquality is not copper but for talking heads out in the wind on the Hood River Waterfront, this oughtta work.  I may get the paddle and test that as well.

Galaxy is based in My Fair City.  Brock and his family still run the company.

Galaxy customer service seems to be really good.   Very forthcoming with seemingly useful info.  I tried the IEM rig by itself with Etymotic ear buds in stereo and not shabby.  Not copper quality but listenable.  For the investment level, honestly better than I was expecting.

Hopefully the next Ajit Pai won't obsolete it...
