The Wisycom MTK982 succeeds the MTK952 as the broadcast-grade dual IEM/IFB transmitter: two stereo channels tunable across 230 MHz of spectrum with up to two watts of output for long-throw applications. Film, broadcast, and top-tier touring rigs run it where frequency agility across borders is the job. Dealer-channel pricing; found by the gear-fit auditor succession check.

The payoff
IEM Transmitter decisions, organized around the whole rig.
The MTK982 is Wisycom's current broadcast-grade dual IEMIn-Ear Monitor — earpieces that replace floor wedges, feeding each player their own mix. The reason this whole rack exists. transmitter — two independent stereo transmit channels in a single rack unitThe standard slice of rack height: 1U = 1.75″. A 3U box takes three slices; half-rack gear pairs two units side by side in one., tunable across a 230 MHz swath of spectrum somewhere in the 470–700 MHz range. That wideband tuning range is the headline: on an international tour or a broadcast production moving between regulatory environments, you are not buying a new transmitter at the border, you are retuning in the hotel room the night before. It succeeds the MTK952 and carries the same reputation for the kind of frequency discipline and RFRadio Frequency — the wireless part of wireless. RF planning is why big rigs scan, coordinate, and combine antennas instead of hoping. output that film sound mixers and top-end touring monitor engineers rely on when the room is hostile and the stakes are high.

Most touring IEMIn-Ear Monitor — earpieces that replace floor wedges, feeding each player their own mix. The reason this whole rack exists. transmitters sit in the 50–100 mW range; the MTK982 can push considerably harder when the application demands it — a large stadium stage, a broadcast truck parked far from the talent, an IFBInterruptible FoldBack — a broadcast-style ear feed where a director can talk over the program audio when needed. feed to a distant camera operator.

The separate control RJ45 keeps management traffic off the Dante port. Power draw sits at 30W typical, 40W max — modest enough that it won't stress a standard conditioner but worth accounting for if you're stacking several.

Where it earns its place in the rack
If you're running a top-tier touring IEMIn-Ear Monitor — earpieces that replace floor wedges, feeding each player their own mix. The reason this whole rack exists. rig, broadcast show, or any multi-country production where frequency coordinationCalculating a set of wireless frequencies that won’t interfere with each other or local TV — the homework behind a clean RF night. across regulatory zones is a genuine operational requirement, the MTK982 earns its place and its price. If you're running a regional club tour, a house-of-worship rig, or even a solid mid-level festival where you'll stay inside one country's band plan, the $6,500 price tag buys capabilities you will almost certainly never use — a Shure or Sennheiser dual transmitter in the same U-space will do the job at a fraction of the cost. This is a tool for people whose RFRadio Frequency — the wireless part of wireless. RF planning is why big rigs scan, coordinate, and combine antennas instead of hoping. problems are genuinely harder than average.

ADTDThe Shure ADTD is the dual-channel transmitter of the Axient Digital PSM platform: two stereo IEM channels of wideband digital RF with Dante and analog inputs, networked control, and the spectral efficiency that lets big shows stack channels where analog PSM could not. It is the direct successor tier to the PSM1000 and the unit users requested by name. Pair with ADXR bodypacks and an antenna combiner.View gear →
ADTQThe Shure ADTQ packs four stereo channels of Axient Digital PSM into a single rack space - the densest IEM transmission Shure makes. Wideband digital RF, Dante and analog inputs per channel, and Wireless Workbench control make it the monitor-world backbone for arena-scale channel counts. One ADTQ replaces a full rack of analog transmitters plus their combiner losses.View gear →
MTK952The Wisycom MTK952 is a premium IEM transmitter favored on top-tier tours and broadcast productions where RF performance is paramount. Its wideband tuning range simplifies frequency coordination in dense RF environments, and AES3 digital input eliminates the need for D/A conversion in all-digital signal chains. If budget allows, this is one of the most capable IEM transmitters on the market.View gear →
