Shure PGX24/Beta 58 wireless mic

[xxyzz]

Thinking about getting this for myself not my singers. Any comments positive or otherwise?

I got 2 of them and love them both. I bought gold plated screens for them because I liked them so well.

Wow Gary....GOLD....and you let your singers use them.....I'm impressed

Singers dont touch them. I have one permanently built into the system for me, and the other is a spare for my small system.

I Have a vocopro dual uhf 3800 mic setup for the singers. probably the best thing ever made For Vocopro.

I dont really have a lot of faith in Shure tho. I have sent mic's off to them to have repaired, and it took a year to get it back. But they do have the best sound.

Sometimes you have to keep bugging them. I sent one off to Hisonic and called a month later to find out they had moved locations and lost it in the move. They did send me a new replacement though.

I use the vocopro UHF 5800, four wireless, pretty good sound, not too expensive either.

I got one of them makin reaaly weird short random scratchy sounds. Sent it back and the guy said there was a frequency in my area causing that and there was nothing they could do.

Does this mak any sense. I mean I payed for four working mikes and they tell me only three work in my area. Don't they owe me another that will work?

I've read the feedback on two of the wireless mics I'm thinking about buying the Sure Beta 24/58 and the Vocopro 5800 4 mic set-up. The Vocopro 5800 really looks like the way to go for the money, but if the mics don't deliver a clear, crisp vocal, then it's not a good deal at any price. I only have parties in my home with friends, but if I can't get good clean sound out of the mics, nobodys happy, and I like to keep everybody happy. The money isn't as big an issue as having good quality stuff to me. I'd like to get some more feed back from some of you guys that do this professionally to steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any comments you might offer.

For home parties especially, the VocoPro mics are perfect. They'll deliver a clear, crisp vocal with no problems, but of course your results may vary. I've had nothing but outstanding results with mine - my Sennheiser EW100G2 does sound better and is built like a tank, but that one cost me $500 and the Vocopro 4-mic set was around $200.

Find a retailer with a fair return policy if you're not satisfied and try the VocoPro system - I got mine from djsupply.com. Call them directly and you'll get a better price than what's shown on their website.

I have used EV967 wired mics for years. Recently i bought four Samson Airline wireless mic with the AX1 receiver. This AX1 module allows me to use my previously wired EV mic wireless without losing the great EV sound. You can plug the AX1 module in any mike, wired or wireless and make them work great.
The system sells for about $250, but if you dicker just a little, i got these for a lot less. I am more than happy.

Vocopro sent me a new mic at a differemt frequency.

All four mics work really clear, usually put two out for singers, one for me, and other a quick spare, and sometimes used by my g/f when she hosts with me.

turned out to be my cell phone.
