What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing has conflicting frequency details: the title identifies H9, a feature specifies H9 (512–542 MHz), while another specification states 2050-2700 MHz. It also lists XLR as the wireless connection despite describing a UHF wireless system, and gives differing dimension formats. Confirm the applicable band, output connections and dimensions for the selected listing. The H9 band is stated to require local authorization, so verify regional compliance before purchase.
