| Post subject: | Wireless Mic problems - Help! |
I'm a KJ in WA state with a new gig in a recently-opened pub. For the first time I'm experiencing severe wireless mic problems. I've tried switching channels but it didn't help. I'm getting either a loud screeching noise (NOT due to feedback or low batteries) or the mic just cuts out completely. I'm running a Martin Roland 600w mixer (and I've never had the mic vol up past 4) and I'm in a smaller room off the main room. Could it be some kind of interference? Please help, my customers are whining about having to use corded mikes! Thanks so much! |

Ocean Shores... it's on the coast south of Seattle. Sleepy town except this coming weekend (1,000 bikers coming to town!) |

Right on! Go there all the time. Which place at Ocean Shores - or what did it used to be anyway? |

Is there a lot of neon in the room??? You may have to go wired. Be prepared!! OR get a higher end wireless mic! |

knightshow makes a good point. Every so often I'll dj (and kj) a party to where my VHF wireless mics will start freaking out on me (doing some of the same things yours are doing). When that happens, I get the UHF wireless out and use that myself for announcing, and hook up 4 wired mics for the singers to use (I have a mic mixer that allows me to hook up 8 wired mics at one time). It's a bad time to have a wireless mic start screeching or dropping out when a bridal party is giving their speeches. Best wishes, Will |

Yes, I was prepared, pulled out the wired mikes and went on with the show. And someone else mentioned to me about the neon, and there are a lot of neon beer signs in the other room. Sure wish I could solve this, though, as this will be a very long-term gig! Are there filters or something like that I could use? Thanks all for your input. BTW, does Sammy do this forum any more? We used to be friends before I moved... (I'm from La La land, just moved to WA in March). |
