[PD] wireless audio from Pd to PA system

[Antoine Villeret]

Hello,

every cheap systems I've tested to send data (video or sound) wireless
don't work when the emitter moves
to have a robust connection with a professional sound quality, you should
use a professional emitter like Shure UR1 with appropriate receiver.
Those can be found in any good audio hire.
