Wireless transmitters don’t immediately imply digital. But I see your point. I haven’t done sound reinforcement in since the 90s. The body mics we used weren’t digital. Shit I’m old. I’ll just stop talking because my initial post was an attempt to channel Randy Marsh showing the gang how to play a real guitar instead of Guitar Hero but then I talked out of my league. lol.

I think things have just changed technologically a lot. Back in those days, the entire audience didn't all have wireless radios in their pockets, so surely the issue of EM interference is much, much worse now. Also, radio systems these days are almost all digital, probably because of interference partly, but partly also because that's just where all the tech is: we know how to make good digital radios now, they're readily available and cheap, so if you're designing a new product that needs a radio, why do it any other way? It's like programming languages: if you need to write a new program for work, you'll probably write it in something currently in-vogue that lots of other engineers are familiar with, like Python or C++ or whatever, and not something old like Lisp.
