Frequently asked questions
What is each product actually for?
The RA4000 is an antenna that receives wireless microphone signals and amplifies them for distribution to a mixing console. The GN30 is a wired microphone you speak or sing directly into. They serve completely different roles in a sound system.
Can I use these together?
Yes. The RA4000 receives signals from wireless microphones (which would have their own transmitter capsules), and the GN30 could be a separate wired backup vocal microphone on the same mixing console. They are complementary, not competing products.
Which is better for a small live performance?
It depends on your setup. If you want performers to move freely using wireless mics, the RA4000 ensures reliable antenna reception. If you want a stationary vocalist with a wired mic, the GN30 provides excellent sound without wireless infrastructure.
What skill level do I need?
The RA4000 requires intermediate to professional knowledge of RF systems and antenna placement for proper installation. The GN30 is straightforward to use—connect it to a mixer via XLR and position the gooseneck at your mouth, suitable for intermediate to advanced performers.
