Two Common Causes of RF Interference Whiteboard Session
Marc Henshall, Senior Marketing Specialist, Pro Audio at Shure UK explains the two most common causes of RF interference.
When it comes to RF interference, there are two elements (or items if you like) that come up frequently as common culprits - metal and salt water. We've written plenty of detail about these major RF enemies before, and the following video should help to add context.
In essence, large metal structures (fences, stage rigs, etc) and salt water (predominately in people) attenuate RF signals significantly. There ability to disrupt an otherwise healthy signal is often overlooked as we're used to RF travelling through other large structures and walls with relative ease. Fortunately, with a little diligence and common best practice, interference from both of these impervious sources can be easily avoided.
