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.

The Sweet Sixteen wireless system is absolutely
ideal for the wireless beginner. It's very easy to set up and up

exempt from any licence. You can switch between the 16 channels if you
find you are experiencing interference. Also available with headset or
lapel mics. Click here to view our full range of
