Using Multiple Wireless Systems
The PW24N system has 95 possible channels that are really different frequency hopping schemes. Each synchronized base and t to 40 systems can work together in one location depending on other interference problems.
Potential Sources of Interference
There are many potential sources of interference for your wireless system product that contains digital circuitry including digital signal processors (reverb/multi-effects units), electronic keyboards, digital lighting controllers, CD and DVD players, and computers, all emit RF energy that can adversely affect place the receiver as far away as possible from these devices to minimize potential problems.
The PW24N operates in the 2.4MHz ISM band and other devices in that band may interfere. The sprea
d spectrum technique used in the PW24N is very robust and should operate even in the presence of other 2.4MHz devices such as walkie-talkies, LANs, cordless phones, etc. in the area.
