Once upon a time, wireless microphones were noisy, distorted, and unreli-

able. They were susceptible to interference from various sources of RF energy

including CB, police and ﬁ re departments, aviation two-way radios, and other

wireless mics. Most of these early issues have been ironed out (only to be

replaced with bureaucratic confusion over bandwidth allocation). Given this

history, manufacturers of wireless systems prioritize features that aid in sim-

plicity of operation.

To this end, Taiwan’s Mipro has developed a proprietary technology known as

automatic channel targeting (ACT), which uses infrared technology to automati-

cally synchronize frequency between transmitter and receiver. The company’s

latest offering to leverage this technology is the ACT 700 series, which includes

the ACT-717, ACT-727, and ACT-747 receivers, and the ACT-7T and ACT-7H

transmitters. For this review, I evaluated an ACT-727 receiver and both of the

transmitters, and I discovered they were truly impressive and easy to use.

I unpacked the box from Mipro to ﬁ nd a 727 receiver, a 7T bodypack trans-

mitter, and a 7H handheld transmitter with a MU-79 condenser capsule. The 727

I evaluated has two receivers built-in. (Mipro’s 717 has one, and the 747 has

four.) For my initial test, I plugged the receiver into the console in my studio and

established a signal path so I could hear the handheld microphone. I attached

the receiver’s two antennae as well. The entire setup process took a couple of

minutes. The system’s user manual speciﬁ es the process for synchronizing trans-

mitter and receiver via Mipro’s ACT system. This process couldn’t be any easier.

I pressed the ACT button on the ﬁ rst receiver’s front panel and positioned the

handheld mic/transmitter a little less than 1ft. away from the receiver with its

infrared port aimed toward it. Within a few seconds, the receiver had acquired

the infrared signal from the transmitter and shifted its reception frequency to

match that of the transmitter. The receiver’s display indicated a lock, and its
