A fantastic deal

As a vocalist in a pretty heavy rock band, who constantly moves around the stage (and usually ending up amongst the audience) I found pretty quickly that cables are just great things to cause mayhem and mischief. So I decided to get a wireless, and boy, am I glad I chose this system. First off, the quality of the mic is astounding. It's perfectly weighted and balanced, so it's comfortable and quickly feels like an extension to you. Although the mic body is plastic, it's pretty hefty, and you can feel the quality.

The sound is great - using the Beta58 capsule, it's a slightly biased sound which works great on most voices. It's louder and slightly more treble than the stock 58 - which makes the voice really pierce through the other instruments, yet still retains all your character. Of course, it comes down to taste, but I can't see many voices sounding bad with this. It's also great at rejecting feedback - very useful for practising in tiny rehearsal rooms.

The Wireless transmitter and reciever works really well. You have several channels to choose from, so realistically you probably won't have to worry about interference. Battery life on the mic is extraordinarily long - much longer than the documentation makes out! It's also very quick and simple to change (especially as it uses AAs) so as long as you put a fresh pair before a major performance, you'll be fine. The range is very long, and the unit easily goes through walls and other obstacles.

Overall a great system, and I would definitely recommend this as a way to get into wireless microphones. You can get cheaper entry wireless systems, but from experience, they just give you a sour taste. This looks, sounds and feels like a professional system, and is definitely worth the money. Plus, you get a quite sturdy hard case, which you can easily lock and secure - a feature that is doubly useful when playing in 90% of venues. Two thumbs up, way up!
