When dealing with wireless systems and PA systems, it is crucial to understand the potential issues that may arise due to signal strength discrepancies. Wireless products like the Wireless GO II, which output mic-level strength signals, may face challenges when trying to connect to PA systems.
What is Causing This?
The main issue lies in the fact that the mic-level output from devices like the Wireless GO II is typically intended for cameras and external recorders, which have different signal requirements compared to mixers and larger speakers.
When a mic-level signal is fed into the audio jack ports of mixers or larger speakers, the result is often noisy or quiet sound output. This is because these audio jacks are designed to receive a higher signal strength in order to produce clear and powerful audio.
As a result, simply connecting a device like the Wireless GO II directly to a PA system may not yield satisfactory results.
How to Resolve This?
To address this issue and ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to use a mixer as an intermediary when connecting the Wireless GO II to larger speakers. By routing the signal through a mixer, which can boost the signal strength, you can achieve a clearer and more robust audio output.
Additionally, using an adapter like the VXLR PRO to connect the Wireless GO II to the mixer can further enhance the input signal strength, ensuring that the audio is properly driven and free from any unwanted noise or distortion.
