DEITY THEOS Wireless Microphone System Review

In this episode we finally get to take a look at DEITY’s long-awaited THEOS wireless microphone system! This brand-new prosumer wireless microphone system includes a well-rounded set of features to the market, including Global OneBand technology, simultaneous transmitting and 32-bit float recording (outside the USA, in the USA, you can record or transmit, but not both at the same time), and wireless timecode syncing when used with the DEITY TC-1 timecode generator or the DEITY SL-1 digital timecode slate. In this episode we go over the THEOS system’s most important features, compare it to its closest competitors, and answer your questions. Let’s take a closer look!
