In my opinion, AMBICO does not make any kind of reliable product whatsoever. If
you are doing interviews in a controlled, i.e., studio, environment, don't wast time
with wireless. If you are in an uncontolled environment buy the best you can
afford. Just make sure the wiress gear is diversity, meaning two separate receivers
automatically selecting the strongest signal with noiseless switching. UHF systems
are really good for indoor environments because the tight wavelength bounces of
walls really well. VHF is better for outdoor situations because the longer wavelength
travels better over long distances, Both VHS nd UFH can be disrupted by local
televison stations as TV and wireless microphone systems use overlapping signals,
have your sales representative THOROUGHLY check for frequency contamination.
NADY makes the best low cost systems in my opinon. Visit them at
www.nadywiress.com. However, system cost is a direct reflection of the quality of
internal compenets, reglardless of manufacture. The more you spend, the better
your system will perform. $400 to $800 per system will give you frustration free
reliability.
I've been using wireless systems for over 20 years. I currently use NADY products. I
also know where the potholes are located.
