Power Dynamics PD528B - Professional 8-Channel UHF Wireless System with Bodypack Microphones
The Power Dynamics PD528B is a professional UHF wireless microphone system designed to deliver exceptional audio performance and uncompromising reliability for large-scale events and productions. With eight independent channels, this comprehensive set is the ultimate solution for conferences, panel discussions, theatrical productions, worship services, or musical performances requiring simultaneous amplification for multiple speakers or performers without the constraints of cables.
This system operates in the 500-530 MHz UHF frequency band, providing a robust and stable signal. Each of the eight channels has 100 selectable frequencies, making it easy to find an interference-free channel, even in congested RF environments. Setup is incredibly simple thanks to infrared (IR) data transmission, which quickly and accurately synchronizes the transmitter with the selected receiver channel. The receiver, housed in a rugged metal chassis suitable for 19" rack mounting, features clear, dynamic LCD displays that show vital real-time information, such as RF level, AF level, channel frequency, and mute status for each of the eight channels.
The kit includes eight compact and lightweight bodypack transmitters, each with its own LCD screen for clear monitoring of frequency and battery status. One of the most convenient features of the PD528B is its rechargeable power system. The transmitters use 18650 lithium-ion batteries, which can be recharged directly by connecting them to the USB ports integrated into the receiver's front panel, eliminating the need for external chargers and reducing operating costs. For maximum versatility, the set is completed with eight skin-tone headset microphones and eight lavalier microphones, allowing you to adapt to any situation. The entire set comes in a sturdy aluminum carrying case, ideal for safe transport and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the operational range of the PD528B system?
Although the range may vary depending on environmental conditions (obstacles, interference), UHF systems like the PD528B typically offer a reliable operating range of up to 50-80 meters in direct line of sight.
How long does the battery last on a full charge of bodypack microphones?
A fully charged 18650 Li-ion battery typically provides between 6 and 8 hours of continuous operation, depending on usage, which is sufficient for most events and performances.
Can I use all 8 microphones at the same time without any problems?
Yes, the system is designed precisely for that. Its eight independent channels and wide range of selectable frequencies allow for the simultaneous operation of all eight microphones in a stable manner and without interference between them.
Is it difficult to configure the frequencies to avoid interference?
No. The process is very simple. You simply select a free channel on the receiver for each microphone and then use the infrared (IR) synchronization function so that the bodypack transmitter automatically learns that frequency, all in a matter of seconds.
