Electro-Voice R300 is a UHF wireless microphone system designed for clear and reliable audio transmission in various applications. It features EZsync technology for easy channel syncing between the receiver and transmitter, ensuring seamless operation. The receiver offers a graphical display for channel, RF strength, audio level, and lock status. With ClearScan, it automatically finds the clearest channel to minimize interference. The system also provides a balanced XLR output and an unbalanced ¼-inch line-level output for flexible connectivity to mixers or amplifiers.
