TOA S5.3-HC Wireless Condenser Handheld Microphone System

The S5.3HC Handheld Condenser Microphone Set from Toa Electronics is a set of two handheld condenser microphones, the S5.3-RX UHF dual-conversion receiver and the S5.3-HCX UHF handheld condenser transmitter, both of which are fully synthesised. This system operates in the 576–606MHz H2 frequency band. The technology can be used for many different theatre and broadcast applications. A system’s multi-channel capacity enables up to 12 channels to function concurrently and without interference when high-quality audio, RF dynamics, and full diversity operation are used. The system runs on a single AA battery and can be used continuously for more than 10 hours.
