Wireless Mic Systems
In preparation for the digital switchover that is due to affect how wireless radio systems can be used, we have written a guide to help answer your questions. Read our 2012 Wireless Microphone Blog Post here (opens in a new window).
Wireless microphones are used when the performer does not want to be hampered by cables during a performance or presentation. They work on a principle of the sound being sent by a transmitter which is either built into the microphone for handheld systems, or as a belt-pack for lavalier (tie-clip), headset or guitar systems, and a receiver which takes the transmitted sound and passes it to a recording or reproduction system. Wireless receivers are most frequently mains-powered. However, some systems include a battery-operated receiver such as those intended for use with a mobile camera in a/v applications. Wireless systems are sometimes referred to as radio systems or cordless systems. We understand that there are many different applications where a radio system would be beneficial and regularly advise clients on the most appropriate system for their requirements. Schools, Colleges and Universities The rise of wireless use within educational establishments has been steadily increasing over the past few years. Whether this is for school performances or end-of-term shows, or for use in the classroom or lecture hall, the choice of available systems can be overwhelming. We can help you with wireless frequency planning, whether this is a multi-channel shared frequency system using Channel 38 and/or 70, or a fixed site licence where you own the rights to specific frequencies to eliminate the potential for crosstalk or frequency interference. As a fixed site environment, educational establishments have a wider choice of frequencies so don't just assume that you want or need a shared-licence system. Churches and Other Houses of Worship Do you need a single system for use in front of the congregation, or maybe a multichannel system for a group of live performers? Does your system need to interface with an Induction-Loop installation? We can help. There are many available solutions to get the best out of your public-address system, so call one of our advisers to help with your decision. Alternative Terms Wireless microphones are also referred to as Radio Microphones or Cordless Microphones. These terms are used interchangeably and all mean the same thing.
