I listen to Carl speak on the future of wireless technology at the SALT creative conference 2018 in Nashville. Very intelligent man!

Thanks so much for doing this interview - we look forward to your next videos as well! Cheers from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, USA.

Fantastic video. Very insightful and the text explanations were perfect. You know how to put an informative video together. Thanks.

As a KZbinr and a lifetime pro audio guy I want nothing more than to use Lectrosonics L series, and I'm not opposed to spending $3,000 for the game over wireless I've always wanted. Obviously nobody can deal with the latency in AVX and the older Sennheiser Evo is straight out of date. The biggest issue here is having been through the FCC stealing our frequencies multiple times I have no idea if I'll be able to use any of the 3 blocks offered in the L series a year later. At least with straight (read: junk) 2.4G systems I'm not scared I'm lighting my money on fire. Karl, any input?

We are all certainly concerned about spectrum loss. For the next few years (5? 7?) we have a pretty good idea of what the UHF TV frequencies will look like. And, while certainly crowded, there is room for wireless microphones in these bands. This is why the L series tunes across 75 MHz (unlike the older stuff that covered only 25 MHz). If you are US based, we recommend A1 for primary use, and, if you have to set up a lot of channels, a combination of A1 and B1. For ENG operators, the newly expanded 941 band is very attractive, but you do need a Part 74 license to operate there. 2.4 GHz has been used for wireless microphones for a long time, and we've seen a lot of innovation there, but our opinion is that for professional users, it is to be avoided due to the heavy and unpredictable crowding (WiFi, etc.).

@@lectrosonics Thank you guys, this answers questions I didn't even ask like what block to choose! I'm never using more than 2/3 channels so A1 should be plenty. I have some 2.4G systems and wish I'd never bought them. 🍻

We had a few of Lectrosonic InEar systems for a while to try out. We decided not to buy them because of a few big issues. Low notes had a sizzling noise with it Lectrosonic was aware of it but couldnt fix it. It simply didnt work for the mucicians on stage. And the battery was really bad, we only got about 1,5h at the most with a few different brands of batteries.

[@DcSoundOp]

abollenswe These are serious claims, can you contact me directly at [e-mail] - I’d like to hear more about what you experienced.

Wow! The word affordable is abused.

[@vannk73]

Affordable is a relative term.
