Infrared wireless microphones are widely used in KTV rooms as a reliable audio transmission solution. These devices use infrared light as the carrier for sound signals, operating on principles similar to traditional radio frequency systems. However, unlike radio waves, infrared signals operate at much higher frequencies—typically above 3 GHz—which results in a cleaner frequency environment with less interference. This makes them ideal for environments where multiple users need to communicate without signal conflicts.
One common misconception is that more mirrors in a KTV room improve the performance of infrared microphones. In reality, excessive mirrors can actually hinder reception. Mirrors reflect light in one direction, which may limit the formation of a dense optical network, creating blind spots in the space. For large mirrored areas, this issue can be mitigated by increasing the number of receiving units, ensuring better signal coverage.
Another question often raised is whether using infrared microphones reduces the need for spare units. The answer is yes. Because infrared systems are frequency-independent and universal, any microphone can be used in any space without worrying about frequency conflicts. This significantly reduces the number of spare microphones required, minimizing downtime due to equipment failure.
A concern about interference between infrared microphones is also common. Since infrared light travels in straight lines, it generally doesn’t interfere with other devices in separate spaces. However, if two microphones of the same frequency are placed in the same area, they may cause interference. Most systems have two distinct channels (A and B), allowing one receiver to handle both, but not multiple signals from the same channel.
Lighting sources such as fluorescent or incandescent lamps typically do not interfere with infrared microphones. During design, the selected infrared frequency band avoids the wavelengths emitted by these lighting devices, ensuring stable operation.
When using infrared microphones in adjacent rooms, opening the door may raise concerns about interference. While theoretically possible, the energy of infrared light entering through the door is far weaker than the signals within the room. The receiver prioritizes strong signals, so interference is negligible. Adjusting the position of the receiving unit can further reduce this risk.
Some users worry that movement of people or the transmitter might cause disconnection. However, infrared light is highly reflective, meaning the signal doesn't need a direct line of sight. It can bounce off surfaces and reach the receiver, ensuring consistent performance. Modern systems use multi-point transmission and reception technology, enhancing reliability even in dynamic environments.
There is no strict limit on the number of infrared microphones that can be used in entertainment venues. Since infrared signals cannot pass through walls or opaque barriers, different spaces can operate independently without interference. This allows for unlimited usage in large-scale setups.
Lastly, plasma TVs can be problematic. They emit strong infrared radiation, which may interfere with the microphone’s signal. While it's difficult to completely avoid this, using alternative display technologies like LCD, projection, or rear-projection screens is recommended. Alternatively, shielding materials such as automotive anti-riot film can help reduce infrared emissions from plasma TVs.
