We decided to use the Shure UHF-R kit as it offered the best in current radio mic technology and frequency ranges needed to make this work.
Shure UHF-R delivered a good sound and worked very reliable and stable.
Firehouse provided full combo systems, and, of course, we had all Shure capsules available, at the Tony Awards, you have to be ready for anything.
Sound Engineer
Ever since they released the UHF-R system, we've had good results... and when I find a system that gives me good results, I stick with it.
