No I don't take the batteries out for every show. The batteries last approximately 30 hours on continuous use, but I have at least 4 batteries with me at every show. Back home I have 4 more that have been charging for hours, so they'll be ready for next time. All my mics have LEDs which show me the state of the batteries. The AVGs LED stays off until the battery needs replacing then it turns on. The Audio Technica LEDs stay lit and get dim when the batteries get weak.

i haven't notice that, i know that it stays green when the bat. are new and red only when i turned it off, havent seen the green light dimmed ..yet, i was told by audio technica support that you should always take the bat. out after using it, and you have to put the same pair of bat.back since bat. doesn't discharge/charge at the same rate.

Just learned something new about what Audio Technica told you. I always leave the batteries in the mics and I've never had a problem with it. You probably have a different model than mine. My mics have a red LED for power on that dims as the battery weakens.

Yeah, the Audio Technicas I have are the ATW 200 series freeway mics and they use 9 volt bat. I use the rechargeables on the AKGs which use AA bat.

Wireless Mic

I use a Samson wireless with the Samson Airline module which will turn any mic into a wireless. Plug in a cheap radio shack for the drunk and a better mike for the serious minded karaoke star. The Airline module will make a wired shure, ev, or any mic wireless. Cost about $250.00

Re: Need to purchase wireless hand held mic system

Although I am new to Hoster, I've been using a set of VocoPro VHF3300 Wireless Rechargeable Mikes (~$149.95) for about 2 1/2 years and have been very pleased with them. So pleased that I added another set about a year ago. I have never had an interference problem with them. I don't use any corded Mikes.

They (two Mikes per set) use 9 volt rechargeable batteries that I buy for about $5 each at Harbor Freight and they hold up very well. I charge them well at home between shows and they hold up all night (4-5 hour show) without any problems.

These batteries hold up just as well as the Radio Shack $15 (each) batteries.

I play in small (Redneck) venues and go through 65-90 songs a night and the batteries hold up all night ... and I have never had one dropped.

Re: Need to purchase wireless hand held mic system

If you are looking for something that is cheap and actually has a decent sound musiciansfriend.com has a dual channel mic on sale for 39.99. I use it for the people who have had too much to drink.. it was a great purchase.

Re: Need to purchase wireless hand held mic system

i have always used audio technica 200 freeway series mics for wireless with the exception of my mic which is a shure.

those of you talking about using rechargeable batts. have you noticed the batt no fitting in the mic housing all that well? if not, what brand of rechargeable are you using?
