Wireless Microphone

[heydjbren]

There are a number of different options available to you. In short:

- The UHF band is usually better. You'll be less prone to interference when using a UHF wireless microphone.

- Very few high-quality systems that I've seen use rechargeable batteries. Disposable alkalines are cheap and easy, and I never have to worry about whether or not they're charged. When they're low, they get replaced.

- You'll find systems in just about every price range. When comparing, try to find a frequency-agile system. This will allow you to quickly switch frequencies if there's interference.

- Try to steer away from the lowest-priced systems if the microphone is for you. I've had decent luck with Samson and Sennheiser wireless systems, and use Vocopro wireless for my singers. If I were in your shoes, I'd consider the Sennheiser Freeport handheld system. It's UHF with 8 selectable frequencies, and it sells for around $199.

Hope that helps!
