One thing to remember, the "FOCUS" mode is for stereo operation with two different signals. It sums to mono and allows you to use the "Balance" feature as a volume for each side IN MONO. VERY handy for musicians wanting to run their instruments or vocals separately from the house mix.
Can you confirm this to be accurate? I think Michele eluded to it in his review (which is great, and very helpful, by the way, Michele), but did not go into it further. If this is correct, it would be a major selling point to me to have the ability to control the level of my bass at times apart from the level of the overall mix. I bought a used Galaxy Audio AS-1800, expecting to be able to do this based on a brief review posted by Rudy Sarzo, in which he says he does just that. You plug the overall aux send mix in one channel, and your bass in the other, and control the balance of the two from the bodypack. But when I tried to run the 1800 in stereo on the transmitter, it can't handle my bass signal. It distorts no matter what I do. Even running it through some pedals and preamps to lower the output of my bass, the AS1800 still distorts. When I run the transmitter in mono, it is totally fine. There is no need to reduce my bass signal at all. So I have not been able to test that theory with the 1800. It sounds terrible. I'm hoping it will work well with the Anleon.
This is not possible as far as I know, as the frequencies they work with are different. Anyways for its price, I don't see a reason why to purchase only the transmitter (and I don't even know if this is possible). Just go for the entire S3 system ;)

@@rickjacoby4474 absolutely. That’s what it does. You’ll have no problem with it.
Does it only work in the 500 range? Looks like a nice upgrade from the original version I bought 5-6 years ago.
Thanks, very helpful review. How did you search for a free frequency if the S3 doesn’t scan?

Hello, Indian price.?
are the s3 units rackmountable?
For what i herad, it doesnt come with 19" rackmount ears. Seems to be 1UR tall but you would have to make your own rackmount adaptation.
They offer a rackmount kit separately that fits 2 S3
