~ Wireless Transmitter/Receiver Upgrade to QLXDs

-- These new wireless transmitters and receivers will improve the longevity of

the equipment, ease of use, as well as the audio quality. These new

transmitters have replaceable antennas, so if the antenna is damaged, it

can be replaced much cheaper instead of needing to replace

the entire transmitter.

~ RF Antenna Project

-- These new antennas and new distribution system will mean that we only

have two much stronger wide-range antennas that provide signal for all the

wireless microphones. This means that interference from the multitude of

antennas will be eliminated, and the greater strength and range means no

more dropouts, encryption can be enabled, and we will substantially

remove the chance for any external interference from outside sources.
