This was more useful than even Shure's own videos for me. Thanks for being clear and concise
Thanks Brian! I’m glad it was helpful to you! Let me know if there are any other topics that would be helpful, too!
perfect video fast and easy to understand. and good background music :-)
So glad these resources help you!
This was so helpful man, thank you so much!
Thanks Nick! (great name BTW)
Do you always calculate freqs before analyzing? Great video, thanks!
Thanks for your question! Yes! Always. Once you start coordinating regularly, this process is quick. Let me know if you have any other questions!
@NicholasRadina Thank You! Could you do a short video on backup frequency deployment?
Nice
Thanks’
Hi Nick, first time for me trying to use Workbench, my devices don't show online...how do I make a network that shows in my Workbench?...thanks in advance.
Hi! Thanks for your question. Be sure to check the network settings on your computer as well as the device. You can verify by clicking on the “network” button bottom right of WWB. As well as the network menu on the device. Pay attention to IP address and subnet.
Hey Nicholas, thank you for the video. This was extremely helpful from someone who is just getting up and running with Wireless workbench. I had a question regarding your scan from the pack. I do not use any wireless receivers for monitors. I'm only using RF for microphones... is there still a scan that needs to happen or do you think just scanning from wireless workbench is sufficient? I didn't know if maybe the scan needs to happen from a receiver (of the mic)?
Hi Andrew! Thanks for your question. I always try whenever possible, to use scan data from the actual hardware units. This gives WWB or any other coordination software the best view taking into consideration the front end filtering, antenna placement and any losses.
Yet, in your case, as long as you can grab a scan in the range of your RF gear you are 90% there. If you have a networkable Shure unit, yes, run the scan from that unit. be sure the handled mic or any other RF gear is OFF.
If you don't have access to a networkable Shure unit, you can manually scan and not use WWB, and also look at the Shure DTV frequency finder. All of which will give you a good idea of what to stay away from.
You can also keep an eye on the FCC DTV search here -> www.fcc.gov/media/television/tv-query
Of of course another great tool is the RF Explorer -> amzn.to/3zisLN8
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any more questions! Have fun!
@@NicholasRadina Thanks a lot,,,this was really an "masterclass's ,,in how to ,,,without a lot of unnecessary explain that we don't need,,for getting started with WWB ...and tried to get it up running asap...keep up the good work :)
@@esound2003 Thank you for taking the time to post your support! I'm happy these resources are helpful to you!
Great video. Very practical advice and demonstration.
Thank you for checking it out!
The bottom left of my freq coordination is empty (even though devices are online and I have scanned)
Thanks for the comment. Did you “add frequencies” to the coordination space?
it´s normal to capture less floor noise on the beltpack than the mic units? and when i scan with a wireless mic unit i get a green square, as same as you on one of your scans, it´s normal too?
Hi Manu! Thanks for your question. I think you are referring to scans captured using an IEM pack and also scans captured with a mic receiver? If so, yes, the IEM pack (PSM1000, etc..) inherently have a lower noise floor than many other microphone/instrument input wireless. Which wireless units/models are you using? If you would like to send me your WWB file, please do -> www.soundnerdsunite.org/
Hello thanks for video I use sennheiser ew 100 g3,100g2,300g2 and rear of reciever has not wlan rj45 there's rj11 so question is can i use this program and if yes how can do this?
Hi Vaqif- thanks for your question. The RJ11 is for data yet used exclusively by Sennheiser. This is not a network port that can be used with WWB, etc.. Only Shure devices can be networked with WWB. Yet you can coordinate nearly every manufacturer with WWB-just not the convince of networked devices. Hope that helps!
Thank you for aswering my question could you please explain what is data?
Hey Nicholas, just curious on steps you take when you’re in very busy environments (Los Angeles, CA).
We currently have various G50, G20, H4 and J1 band units and I’m having a difficult time making everyone happy. Purchased the RF Venue scanner and it’s a heck of a lot more helpful but I still have at least one ore two units give me issues.
How do you deal with 46 frequencies in high traffic areas!? Any tips for us here in Cali!?
Hi Jesus! Thanks for your comment. LA is tough for sure. I feel your pain. I'd definatly recommend improting scan data from the actual units. This will give WWB solid data and realistic noise floor of the spectrum. Are you issues related to WWB not coordinating ENOUGH freq's or the coordniated freq's are resulting in dropouts/interference?
Nicholas Radina

Thanks for responding back! I’ve imported both wireless and RF Venue data, which really helps to give WWB a bigger picture.
Regarding the issues, I usually don’t get enough and I have at least one unit still giving me dropouts (PSM300). Most other PSMs are in a better range. Any thoughts!?
