what is the range possible between microphone and compilot

I tested mine the other day in a Wal-Mart and I could hear my wife well more than 100 ft. away.

Probably around 50 feet. It is ideal when traveling in the car. My husband speaks in the mic, and I can understand in spite of the road noise. Dar H.

The range according to Phonak between the ComPilot and the remote mike is 66 feet You can get a great deal of information on the Phonak web site. Robert

I've successfully used it up to 50 feet away, but don't know what the longest possible range is. You do not have to be in line of sight -- it will transmit through doors and walls, though the range is reduced.

It's probably about 50-70 feet. My husband walked out of the audiologists office and down the long hallway talking to me and I heard him.

It depends on the environment. It has worked fine 50' away but not always. 20' to 30' seems pretty dependable.

The Phonak Remote Mic has a range of 30-40 feet. It is high-quality, but line-of-sight.

Those are basically different bandwidth ranges. They are important to know if you already have a treansmitter and are replacing a microphone ore vice versa. The other important thing is if you are accumulating a lot of wireless mics you may need to vary the ranges to keep the transmissions clear.

Sandra M, understanding that its not a high quality system its pretty reliable for its price range. If you hold the mic at the bottom where your hand can touch the antenae you may get some interference. I used it in an awards presentation on a stand by the podium. The received was some 60 feet away and it worked fine. So I think you should be OK to go.

I bought one also. Mine works perfectly with my ComPilot. I enjoy it very much. I made a moisture resistant pouch for my ComPilot and needed the mic to use with it

I believe that any maximum would be a function of your recorder, not the microphone. I've recorded phone conversations lasting more than an hour.

This works for my son with the headset in his bedroom and the computer in the living room (3 walls in between approx 50 to 75 feet). I personally have gone close to 100 feet with no walls before the sound got a little fuzzy.

Not sure how far apart the ppl are. I'd turn you device on as loud as it can go, & then turn up the LGT to its maximum setting and you'll be able to hear it very well.

No,unfortunately Jill..the comPilot by phonak uses short range fm radio to connect with some of the Phonak aids. The hearing aid you use it with has to have the newer Phonak system. Mine is Naida S. Even older Phonak aids will not use the comPilot. The Phonak Mike however connects to the comPilot using bluetooth, and the microphone should be able to connect as a remote mic to other bluetooth enabled devices. If your hearing aid can connect directly to a bluetooth device, this microphone MIGHT pair with it. If you are uncertain, check with your audiologist or the customer service rep for the maker of your aids.

Mine worked great from the start, and months later the same. The ComPilot mikes are too far away. People told me my voice was clear as a bell after I installed the MC-1. Be sure the plug is all the way in.

I no longer own the unit, but running from memory... transmitter to mic (the part you'd attach to the subject speaking) is plenty long to attach the pack to a belt or pocket, and attach the mic somewhere along their neckline. So in the range of 3-4 feet. The one on the receiver is extremely short, under 1 foot.

i've been able to pick up sound up to as far as 20 feet of someone talking to another person. However, the noise will increase as well. outdoors, you'd be better off with a windfur or a blimp or a lav or a lav with fur. but this alone won't block wind. it just produces great sound quality, nice bass, balanced treble, compared to on-camera mics or cheaper mics. For even better results, i hear that the NTG3 works as good as the Senheiser 416, which is the minimum mic hollywood would use. then put the NTG3/416 in a blimp with fur on the blimp and that will be the best wind cutting system.

Yes, LiveMIC can be paired with Phonake ComPilot since both are using same pairing code "0000". Also, you need to use Mode A of LiveMIC to pair and connect with ComPilot. LiveMIC is a good wireless microphone to be used as remote wireless microphone since it is eqiuped 2 microphones, Omnidirectional and Unidirectional microphone and other rich features.

No, just plug into jack on bottom of compilot and you are all set...........good luck, I really enjoy mine and people can hear me better.

I cannot give you a precise answer but I have information that might help. I have a 12'x24' conference room with a 4'x16' table in the middle of the room that seats 4 people on each side. I have a CM-1000USB microphone in the middle of the table and 2 CM-1000 microphones attached to it on each side (about 5' from center). In a recent meeting, with people in the room and people in several remote locations, the presenter walked around the room the whole time. Even though the presenter wasn't wearing a microphone, the 3 microphones on the table picked her up so well that people in the remote locations had no difficulty hearing the presenter. Note that our meeting software has an audio meter and I am able to adjust microphone volume in Windows, if needed. I rarely need to adjust microphone volume (unless there is somebody who is, truly, softspoken talking). Note, as well, that as with any omni-directional microphone, that all sounds within the range of the microphone are picked up. So, if someone at the table is speaking and someone else is drumming their fingers on the table, both are picked up by the microphone. There are situations where a uni-directional or bi-directional microphone might be more appropriate than an omni-directional microphone.

The microphone can handle high SPL. If it distorts, there may be something you need to adjust in the mixer or P.A.

In my experience the ComPilot unit must be very close to the hearing aids. That is why the loop (antenna) of the ComPilot is worn around the neck of the person wearing the hear aids. It might work if the person speaking is close enough to hold the mike but that is very close.

Greater than 35 feet...I suspect it works well past that, I just can't test it outside of 40 feet because I can't hear it...
