What about radio/wireless microphones?

Wireless microphones are now developed to a stage where they are perfect for semi-professional singers and venues and are ideal for schools as there are no wires to trip over.

Wireless microphones are available with handheld microphones which contain their own transmitter. You can also buy them with a headset or lapel microphone, which connects by a short wire to a small belt-pack transmitter.

You can get single or dual wireless mics - single have one microphone per receiver, dual have two microphones per receiver. The benefit of these is that they only take up one channel on the mixer.

Is there anything I should consider when buying?

The main consideration is to get a wireless microphone that works on the True Diversity principle and it operates at UHF (Ultra High Frequency) rather than VHF (Very High Frequency). All True Diversity means is that the transmitter sends two signals to the receiver on different frequencies which are then summed at the receiver end. This reduces the amount of drop-out or signal loss. If you have a wireless that is not true diversity it will be prone to drop out.

If you use fixed frequency microphones then it is not advisable to use more than two at any time as you may suffer 'bleeding' from one mic to another. We recommend the Sweet Sixteen range below and the LD Systems 100 Series which both have 16 switchable channels.
