Know before you buy
Spatial Diversity uses dual antennas to transmit the same signal, which significantly reduces the risk of signal dropouts caused by multipath interference. This ensures a much more stable and reliable connection for performers moving across complex stages.
Yes, the unit is fully compatible with Dante and AES67 workflows. It features four Ethernet ports, allowing for seamless integration into professional networked audio environments.
The X55 band operates specifically within the 941-960 MHz range. Before purchasing, please ensure this frequency range is legal and clear for use in your specific geographic location.
ShowLink allows you to remotely monitor and adjust transmitter settings in real-time without needing to physically access the unit. This is essential for making quick changes to frequency or power settings during a performance.
No, the Analog FM mode provides virtually zero latency. This makes it an ideal choice for performers who require instantaneous audio feedback without the processing delay sometimes associated with digital transmission.
Yes, the Axient Digital PSM system features built-in encryption. This ensures that your audio signal remains private and protected from unauthorized interception, which is critical for high-profile events.
