OVERVIEW

• There are so many applications where a wireless microphone, while keeping profession-al audio quality, is required to be as portable and easy to use as possible. It happens very often that even the most experienced and demanding users struggle when they have to solve interference problems during their performances. Nowadays, moreover, the increasing number of smartphones and other devices, Wi-Fi, digital TV, etc., make the frequency spectrum more and more critical.
• Soundsation is well aware of this state of affairs and knows very well the needs of its users, which is why it decided to use digital technology also in the automatic selection of frequencies (16 channels in the case of the PockeMic U16) by choosing the least dis-turbed ones, but also in the automatic synchronization between transmitter and receiv-er. All with the greatest possible simplicity: just turn them on and after a few fractions of a second the game is done; you just need to make sure the batteries are charged.
• The receiver allows direct charging of the lithium battery thanks to the supplied USB cable.
