Wireless audio transmission system, particularly a wireless microphone system
First Claim
1. A wireless audio transmission system for wireless audio transmission comprising:
- at least one wireless microphone unit for detecting audio signals and for wirelessly transmitting the detected audio signals over a first channel which is an audio channel; and
a central unit comprising;
a wireless receiver unit for receiving, over the first channel, the wirelessly transmitted audio signals from the at least one wireless microphone unit;
a pilot tone transmitter for transmitting a first pilot tone signal wirelessly over a second channel which is a first pilot channel; and
a pilot tone receive for wirelessly receiving and processing a second pilot tone signal;
wherein each pilot tone signal has information with respect to the wireless transmission between the at least one microphone unit and the central unit;
wherein the at least one wireless microphone unit is adapted to wirelessly receive the first pilot tone signal and to extract information in the first pilot tone signal;
wherein the at least one wireless microphone unit is adapted to adjust its operation based on the information extracted from the first pilot tone signal; and
wherein the wireless audio transmission system is a program making special events (PMSE) system.

Abstract
There is provided a wireless audio transmission system, in particular a wireless microphone system, for wireless audio transmission. The system has at least one wireless microphone unit for detecting audio signals and for wirelessly transmitting the detected audio signals, and a central unit. The central unit has a wireless receiving unit for receiving the wirelessly transmitted audio signals from the wireless microphone units, a pilot tone transmitting unit for transmitting a first pilot tone on a pilot channel, and a pilot tone receiving unit for receiving and processing a second pilot tone signal. The pilot tone signal has information in respect of the wireless transmission between the microphone units and the central unit.
