Frequently Asked Questions
How does the switchable omnidirectional and cardioid feature work?

Are body-pack transmitters included with this headset microphone?

What is the benefit of the dual wire paths in a single cable?
The dual wire paths provide a clean alternative to cumbersome cable dressing, allowing for independent connection and separation of two transmitters without a tangled mess.
