Greetings Everyone,
I'm nate and, I have recently started recording sound for video. Prior to that, I had been providing sound reinforcement services for events. Recently I was called upon to provide lavalier mics for a videographer at this event.. I only had handheld mics in my kit. B&H was closed and I was stuck. I didn't have enough time to order online. Luckily, after a few hours trek around to every place I could think of, one of the local pawn shops had two complete sets of Lectrosonics R175 receiver/M175DC transmitter (w original mics & power cord) selling for a little less than $200. As I said, I didn't have a lot of time so, I took a chance and thankfully, they worked out great for the event.
My question is... These things are old... they only work on one channel each... these units are VHF (finally had a chance to do some research 193.050 & 192.050) and, even though that event worked out nicely, should I replace these with UHF, 2.4GHz? They sound good but I'm afraid being stuck on just the one frequency each. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
The new kid
