DIVERSITY WIRELESS BY ANCHOR AUDIO
Anchor Audio UHF wireless is a 16 channel, diversity wireless system that receives signals with two independent antennae. With diversity
wireless the receiver processes the stronger signal, effectively minimizing dropouts and interference from other transmitting sources. The
antennae are mounted internally so there are no obstructions or risk of damage.
