Shure PGX24/Beta 58 wireless mic

[gduns - with the Lord]

Sounds like a cop out to me. I never had a mic do that. call vocopro and see if they will do anything.

Do those mikes have an adjustable gain control ? Mine have, located in the battery compartment. I've had a slight scratching sound a time or two that was solved by just a slight reduction in the gain.

I agree with gduns, but there's an oustide possibility that there is an interference of sorts on one mike's frequency and not the other three.

If they're preset frequencies(channels) like mine are, you can't tell. If they're user set like some multiple units I'ver seen advertised, you might try swapping frequencies and see if the problem moves to the other mike.

Dunno, just brainstorming.

I can't find them any cheaper than $345.00, also I would't mind buying VocoPro for my singers I just don't know anything about the quality of VocoPro

Vocopro are good mikes. We have two sets and until just recently we haven't had any problems with any of them. Like Bryant I had one of the 5800 set suddenly start a low frequency "pumping" feedback. The next week it was fine. Haven't figured it out yet but will if it ever comes back.

I just recently picked up the Vocopro 5800 set, and was also concerned about the quality I'd be getting from them (I use Sennheiser Evolution Series mics in my DJ system and host karaoke shows on an occasional basis). After being convinced by a vendor who used the Vocopro systems in his own karaoke shows that they were decent mics for the price, I bought them. And sure enough, they're a very good value.

My biggest concern was the fixed frequencies, but it's easy to forget that you're getting FOUR microphones with this system, and will only need all four of them on rare occasions (once or twice a night, maybe). I haven't had any frequency interference issues at all, but even if I did, I feel comfortable knowing that they'd likely occur on just one of the four frequencies. That leaves three wireless handhelds, which is enough for me to do a successful show. I use the combined output on the receiver and adjust the volume of each mic with the little gain controls on the front of the receiver. So far, so good. Singers are loud and clear, and everyone loves using a wireless. My only complaint is that the mics just don't feel substantial, but then again, I'm used to the Sennheiser. These Vocopro mics are quite good.

They are good, still like em in fact.
I was just bugged about the fact that I paid for 4 and can only use three, hasn't effected the shows.

Let me know if it does. Vocopro first said they couldn't change the frequency, then they said they could. Now they have it in repairs. I'll ket you know if that was it!
