Wireless microphone systems are used, for example, in theater, stage performances, television, broadcast radio or in concerts to amplify voices or instruments for a large audience. Due to the plurality of actors or musicians, a corresponding number of audio channels is required to transmit the audio information. 20 to 50 audio channels can thus be required in a parallel mode even in common applications. The invention relates to a network system (1) for audio equipment (4) having a plurality of base stations (3) and having a plurality of microphone modules (4) wherein the microphone modules (4) are and/or can be allocated to the base stations (3) via configuration data and wherein each microphone module (4) of a microphone-module-base-station allocation is designed to transmit audio information on a transmitting frequency F1, F2, F3, F4, FX, FY to the allocated base station (3) of the same microphone-module-base-station allocation, wherein the base stations (3) are networked to one another such that the configuration data are interchangeable, having a control device (2), wherein the control device (2) is designed in respect of programming technology and/or circuit technology to automatically adapt the configuration data of the base stations (3) and/or microphone modules (4) and/or microphone-module-base-station allocations. The control device (2) is designed to adapt the configuration data in consideration of measured and/or calculated interactions of the microphone-module-base-station allocations and/or in consideration of the intended use of the respective microphone module (4).
A network system (1) for audio equipment (4) comprising a number of base stations (3) and a number of microphone modules (4), wherein the microphone modules (4) configured to be allocated to the base stations (3) via configuration data and wherein each microphone module (4) of a microphone module-base station allocation is designed for transmitting audio information on a transmitting frequency (F1, F2, F3, F4, FX, FY) to the associated base station (3) of the same microphone module-base station allocation, wherein the base stations (3) are networked together so that the configuration data are exchangeable, comprising a control device (2), wherein the control device (2) is designed in the form of a program or of a circuit to select or adapt the configuration data of the base stations (3) or of the microphone modules (4) or of the microphone module-base station allocations in automated manner, characterized in that the control device (2) is designed for setting the configuration data, and has a frequency analysis module (6) which is designed for testing the transmitting frequency spectrum during the initialization or in operation of the network system, and determining the available transmitting frequencies or the quality of the available transmitting frequencies, wherein the configuration data are adapted taking into consideration available transmitting frequencies or taking into consideration a quality of the available transmitting frequencies.
