What Are The Pros And Cons Of Using Wireless Mics

By Diane Ward


Microphones in general is proven useful especially during events wherein people needs to talk or perform in front of several people. Once the area is quite big, talking without using a mic on would not make sense as it will not reach the ears of those people located at the farther most parts of the hall. Imagine if that is a concert and your idol would sing without a mic on, that would be so annoying as you could really not hear a thing at all. That makes the mics really useful in fact there were services like wireless microphone rental which are aiming to help people in need of such sound systems.

These types are known to be the latest ones in terms of this device. Its invention was merely based on the limitation of most wired mics there is. Indeed, it has proven its efficiency to the users of the device but then, it could not be helped that there can also be few drawbacks to work on with when using this.

Starting with the most common purpose and advantage of the wireless mic. Using it can typically allow unbothered movements of hosts or performers. It is really efficient especially if one needs to do gestures while they are holding the mic or of there is a need to dance and move along the beat.

When they use the wired ones on scenario like this, common result would be stumbling and tripping over the cables along with the mic. Notice how most cable are subjected to a mess and tangling which can be really annoying to begin with.

With regards the drawbacks, most of which has something to do with its limitation as well. For example, the range it is capable of supporting will be limited. Yes, you can move anywhere but there is no guarantee it would still work if you reach certain distance. Though, this will mostly depend on the brand.

That also makes bigger possibility of interference towards other equipment that is subjected with signals such as radio microphones. Though, there are newer models that actually can go against interference and is worth their price in terms of rental. You will just have to find it somewhere or have a little research to look for such mics.

The system it is using may be a little sensitive with other form of waves or signal that will hit the device. It can create weird and annoying screeches or noise with a high pitch. Make sure that you try the mic before renting to prevent such problem on the exact event day.

Next drawback is when the device is run by batteries. This has a strong tendency of dying on the middle of the event even if you have charged it beforehand. This can cause a little delay once and if the event is actually time bound and you would not appreciate that.

Furthermore, because there is a radio channeling that would happen to make things work, chances are some mics that also are wireless may not be used on the same area because of limited channel. Unlike wired, you can use up to how many mics you want to use on the event. But then, knowing the technology there could be brands out there who were able to actually fix such issues. Just ensure research before actually renting a system.
