Wireless Mics Cutting Out? Here’s Why It Happens Every Sunday
Let’s be honest—nothing kills a moment faster than a pastor or worship leader’s mic cutting in and out mid-sentence. You hear the first word, then silence, then it pops back in like nothing happened. And the first thing everyone does? Look at you in the booth 😅. Here are the real reasons it happens in churches (and how to fight it): 1. Antennas hidden or blockedIf your receiver antennas are stuffed behind a rack or pointed at the floor, you’re asking for trouble. Always get them above head height and line-of-sight with the stage. 2. Too far from the receiverMost budget systems start struggling past 100 ft, especially if there are walls or bodies in the way. Distance = dropout. 3. Frequency chaosIf your wireless is running in the same band as Wi-Fi routers, lighting controllers, or other wireless mics, expect interference. Always scan and set clear frequencies. 4. Cheap batteriesHalf the “mystery cutouts” I’ve seen came down to weak AA batteries. Spend a few extra bucks on quality rechargeables—it’s worth it. ⚡ Pro tip: In churches where the stage is far from the booth, use remote antennas on stands closer to the platform. That single change can take you from constant dropouts to rock-solid audio. 💬 Question: What’s the biggest cause of wireless mic dropouts in YOUR church—distance, interference, or just bad batteries? — Nate

Ours, as you know, are because of antennas being blocked behind our stage box. We are going on your recent recommendation to buy 10ft cables, couplers, and move our antennas up above the stage box about 10 feet.
Reassigning inputs on in ear monitors
Hello all, how do I change the inputs (channel 12 and 13 effects) with other channels (mics) in the Behringer x32?
