personally, I have never owned one; I am not completely able to evaluate the respective technical characteristics; in any case, they would be used in teachers' meetings and during school musical theater performances. therefore, generally speaking, I would opt for medium-level quality (meaning nothing particularly professional and expensive, but not even an excessively trivial and poor-performing toy). what do you think? perhaps could you suggest microphones of a different brand as an alternative to SHURE? (I have also heard good things about SENNHEISER and AKG).
Hi Scala, I just got back home, a bit tired. I'll reply to you in the next few days as soon as I have a moment of respite. Remind me if it should slip my mind...
to tell you the truth, simone, besides the 2 wireless microphones, my principal has also asked me to suggest a sound reinforcement system, for the same purposes: faculty meetings & various musical-theatrical shows. i have identified the following set:
what do you think? can the mixer and speakers work well together? i know the mixer quite well, i've used it other times and I don't dislike the performance. anyway, I eagerly await your precious verdict! ;-D
i don't know the budget myself; a small sum was collected during a school market; it will surely be supplemented by drawing from school resources but currently, I believe that even my boss is unable to evaluate how much we will actually be able to spend.
One would need to know the budget, because you see... wireless microphones range from a few dozen euros up to several thousand. The variety is very wide. Keep in mind, however, that for a wireless microphone worthy of being called such, you must spend at least 3/400 euros. Below this figure, you have microphones that cause many problems, e.g.: they are susceptible to electromagnetic fields, they are very noisy, omnipresent hissing.
AKG has something good at affordable prices, for example the WMS 470 D5.
