Frequencies in Chicago

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

I'm coming to Chicago in a couple of weeks from Finland to shoot a documentary and need the lavs to work flawlessly. So, what frequencies are safe, and free, to use? Also if you have any tips I'm open to everything. Thanks in advance!

If you do not have an external scanner (the G series Rx scanner is not very sensitive), going to the Sennheiser USA Frequency Finder is a good place to start. Try to find a TV channel with -80dBm or less signal strength and use one of the channel bank presets in that range.

For instance, from what I basically see in Chicagoland for a Sennheiser G 100 series frequency block A, a bank with presets within 530-536 MHz would be a 1st choice. Do a walk test at each location to confirm no interference (and pray to the RF gods).
