If I have 2 USB ports on my computer can I connect 2 W3s?
Two W3s can be used on one computer if you have two free USB ports. You would need to change the selection in your computer’s audio preferences to switch between each Sender. Also, make sure to leave at least 6 inches between the units so there is no interference.
