Re: Wireless Mic Recommendations

Gahh... So much unknowledgement on my part.

PP?? What's that? Would that be "phantom power"? Whatever that is.

I figured out that the mic that Nedro recommended needed a transmitter and receiver. Looks like ya gotta be careful to get a mic that will plug into the transmitter module. Are the cannon plugs pretty standard?

And to get a receiver that will hear the transmitter.

Geez... didn't know I'd need to be an electrician/RF engineer to play the accordion. :)

Re: Wireless Mic Recommendations

I use an Airline 77. It is a clip on with everything on the mic arm. No wires or side packs. Works really good.

Re: Wireless Mic Recommendations

Samson AirLine 77 UHF TD Wind Instrument Wireless Microphone System, Channel N1

Like Shannon said, the belt pack is on the goose-neck.

Looks like a good system. The reviews are favourable.

I have a couple of Samson hand-held's that have held up pretty good.

It really ain't that complicated, John. No electronics degree required.

Yeah, PP = phantom power. Sorry for the confusing shorthand.

Happy New Year!

Re: Wireless Mic Recommendations

How is the Airline 77 for weight? It would seem that putting all that stuff into one package may be heavy.

Re: Wireless Mic Recommendations

Just an FYI ..

I had used a couple different brands of wireless over the years

Right now, I'm using the audio Technica clip on mike,
but I went back to the wired version.

There are cons of wireless too ..

A little more setup on the receiver end .. And you had better always
bring extra batteries for the transmitter. Some times, I'd put in a fresh
battery at the start of a performance because batteries like to die right
in the middle of something important.

Some receivers required a wall-wart so that was another thing to mess with ..
power outlet, extension chord. If you have a PP powered receiver, that's great!

And I have had interference with other people's wirelesses on rare occasion.

The nice thing about a cord is the simplicity and reliability.

Just thought I'd throw that in ..

Happy New Year guys!

Re: Wireless Mic Recommendations

Got to agree with you there, Big.

I'd rather get a little bit tangled up in mic & instrument cords than have silence that I don't know how to fix.
