About the Wisycom MTK982

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.

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.

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.

In the rack
- Route your DanteThe most common audio-over-network standard: dozens of channels of uncompressed digital audio down one ordinary Ethernet cable between Dante boxes. feed into the MTK982 and keep the analog combo inputs as a verified backup — patch them from your console's direct outs so a network hiccup never kills a performer's ears mid-show.
- With up to 2W available, confirm with your RFRadio Frequency — the wireless part of wireless.

- The control RJ45 is a real workflow asset — connect it to Wisycom's RFCentral or a compatible network manager so you can monitor both transmit channels, tweak frequencies, and check pilot tone status from FOHFront Of House — the main mix the audience hears, and the console position out in the room where it gets mixed. without touching the rack.
