Sound Man Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 An interesting question, has anybody had problems using a UHF radio mic in a leisure centre? Over the last year I have been into three different leisure centres and have been unable to use a Sennheiser or Shure handheld radio mic due to what sounds like a radio station's transmission. I was using the channel 70's frequencies at the time and it's there on all of them. Fortunately I have had a Shure VHF with me and that was fine. Puzzled.

bruce Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Aerobics instructor with headset mic, took the thing off and left it turned on in the gym, where MTV was playing ? Probably not, but it's a possibility ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisquee Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Can you not do a scan and use a clear freq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David It will be the wireless system for getting audio of TV's & music channels to the fitness machines. Although all the packs are plugged into the machines it is only for charging. see Audeon for details. Only option is to move away from Channel 70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPTTRIAL Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 MMM , yea I think you were getting the centres inhouse piped radio, its quite common to distrubute signal to different areas of the centre using this method, it's used for getting to areas like loo's and remote areas or anex's to make sure they get the piped sound. senheiser make a specific bit of kit for that purpose, a 30w amp with a built in reciever.

Simon Lewis Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I'm suprised that the device linked to can achieve "up to 8 stereo channels" in channel 70! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 It's also going to be a very unpopular device with people forced to use these channels once the switchover happens. A designed gadget that fills up the entire free allocation seems a very greedy device when channels are so scarce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transmission caused my Shure receivers audio peak light to illuminate almost constantly. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
