Do not know name of Audio Equipment

[DKH]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and to audio systems. So I have a novice question.
At Church we have a audio pa system that is was built in a portable rack. Here are the units that are in the rack.

1. Some sort of power distributer that has a cord to the wall (for power)
2. Not sure
3. Has two antenas (that probably go the wireless mic)
4. Mixer
5. Amplifier (has a cord that runs to the speakers)

My question is what is number 2. It has a little screen with some buttons and a couple lights that show the mics battery levels and "rf".

What I what to do is add additional mics (wireless). So I thought that I had to replace the panel with the antenas (I don't know what it is called) with one that could support multiple mics. But it seems the next panel up has something connected to the mics too.

So my question is...
1. what is the second panel called and what does it do
2. what is the third panel called
3. what would I have to do to support multiple mics

thank-you very much

DKH, post some pictures front and back. Maybe the model names and numbers are on the backs of the pieces of equipment. Let's start there.
It sounds like #1 is an amplifier and #3 is a receiver for the wireless mic signal but a picture is worth 1000 words.

No. 2 is most likely the mics receivers. No. 3 is most likely an antenna bay for those receivers in No. 2. This helps get the antennas to the outside of the cabinet. Some go as far as to install larger antennas somewhere else in the booth for better reception. Without pics, I am just guessing.

Regardless, you need a receiver for each additional wireless mic or a model that supports multiple mics in one bay such as this........http://www.amazon.com/GTD-Audio-G-7...&sr=8-2&keywords=4+wireless+microphone+system

Look for UHF mics for better quality over the VHF models.

I do not have it with me, but I will take some pictures when I see it. And I think Dennis Gardner is right.
