Wireless
The wireless microphone, as its name implies,
works without cables. It is a standard lavaliere
microphone connected to a battery-powered radio
transmitter. The talent may clip the transmitter to his belt
or conceal it under an article of clothing. A small antenna
connected to the transmitter sends the audio signal on
an FM frequency to the receiver in the audio control
room. The signal is then fed to the audio switcher, who
controls the input like any other sound source.
Be careful when you use wireless microphones
because they may deliver unwanted audio from radio
freqencies (RF) in the area. A wireless microphone
receiver and transmitter are shown in figure 14-24.
