Infrared wireless microphones are widely used in KTV rooms and are an essential part of the entertainment setup. These devices transmit sound signals through infrared light, which acts as a carrier wave. The working principle is similar to that of traditional radio frequency systems, but instead of using radio waves, they rely on high-frequency infrared light. While typical wireless microphones operate within the 200–900 MHz range, infrared microphones function at frequencies above 3 GHz. This higher frequency ensures a cleaner signal environment with less interference from other devices, making them ideal for crowded or enclosed spaces.
There are several common questions people have about infrared wireless microphones:
1. Does using more mirrors in a KTV room improve the reception of infrared microphones? Many believe that more mirrors lead to better performance, but this is actually a misconception. Mirrors reflect light in one direction, which can create blind spots by disrupting the formation of a dense optical network. In large mirrored spaces, the issue can be resolved by increasing the number of receiving units for optimal signal coverage.
2. Can infrared microphones reduce the need for spare units? Due to their versatility, infrared microphones can be used in any isolated space without worrying about frequency conflicts. Transmitters and receivers are universal, meaning any A-channel transmitter can work with any B-channel receiver, reducing the number of spares needed and minimizing downtime caused by equipment failure.
3. Do infrared microphones interfere with each other? Since infrared light travels in straight lines, they don't interfere with each other in separate areas. However, if two microphones with the same frequency are placed in the same space, they may cause interference. Most systems use two distinct channels (A and B) to prevent this, allowing one receiving unit to handle both A and B signals simultaneously, but not multiple A or B signals at once.
4. Are infrared microphones affected by lighting such as fluorescent or incandescent lamps? During design, the infrared frequency bands were carefully selected to avoid interference from standard lighting sources, so they generally do not affect microphone performance.
5. What happens if infrared microphones are used in adjacent rooms with the door open? In most cases, there is no significant interference. Although some infrared light may pass through the door, it’s much weaker than the signals being transmitted inside the room. The receiving system prioritizes stronger signals, so the weak light from outside has little impact. Adjusting the position of the receiver can further minimize this risk.
6. Will movement of people or the microphone itself cause signal loss? Infrared light reflects well off surfaces, so even if the signal isn’t directly reaching the receiver, it can still be picked up after bouncing off walls or other objects. Modern systems use multi-point transmission and reception technology to ensure reliable performance, even in dynamic environments.
7. Is there a limit to how many infrared microphones can be used in a venue? There are no strict limits. Each system uses only two channels (A and B), and since infrared light cannot pass through walls or solid objects, different spaces can operate independently without interference. This allows for unlimited use in large venues.
8. Can plasma TVs interfere with infrared microphones? Plasma TVs emit strong infrared radiation, and their infrared spectrum varies depending on size and model. This makes it challenging to completely avoid interference. It's recommended to use alternative display technologies like LCD, projection, or rear-projection TVs. If plasma TVs must be used, shielding materials such as automotive anti-riot film can help reduce the impact of infrared emissions.
