Hi Mark, i take it you have the transmitters (that is the box) but no receivers (the mic) firstly you need to determine is the transmitter VHF or UHF then see if they have any info as to what frequency they are may be fixed or variable once you have done that you can then search for matching microphones they do not have to be Trantecs as in some cases you can match different brands.

firstly, the mic is the transmitter.....

ok, it is possible in most cases to buy trantec transmitters as seperate items - perhaps talk to cpc etc. It may be a special order item but i have, on occasion in the past purchased several trantec transmitters as spare units.

Most modern radio mic systems need to operate as a mached system - ie it is not possible to mix and match various units from different makers or systems. This is usually due to the noise reduction systems radiomics use to keep hiss, cracks and pops at bay.

Sorry got mixed up re transmitter receiver, but Yes you can mix systems certainly with VHF fixed frequency systems i have 2x AKG/ Samson systems working perfectly.

It's best, but not always essential.

Not just VHF rigs, Tony. At a recent hotel function, my UHF SM58 lit up with the hotel's Freeport. :eek: :eek: I opened my mic channel, and helped them out with the speeches. :D :D :D

Whilst it may well function, it will not give you consistant reliable operation and performance in line with the manufacturers specification. If thats good enough for you, thats fine. For me, it's not.

Strange comment ,i have been running my hire company for 40 years + and as i posted Sampson/AKG both made in the same factory and there are plenty of other makes that will work perfectly together. Its not rocket science and can do no harm giving ago.
