Great heads up, Earl.....many thanks.
Anybody know anything about mics versus pacemakers, or ICDs.......there's a possibility of the mic stopping the singers heart, but I'm more concerned with it causing static in my system......

Wireless is nice, but I sure do like the reliability of a cable.


Thanks for the heads up.

Two for the singers and one for me. Never had a problem with them of any kind. No dropouts, no static, no nothing. And I get more compliments on how good they sound. My customers love them.

For me, I will not use corded mics. Hate the clutter and people tripping over the mic cords. Also avoids the smart guy swinging the mic by the cord.

I'm reluctantly purchasing a wireless Shure with an SM58 head to appease a local singer and we'll see how it works out. I suspect I won't be able to turn it up very loud since I have no idea of when a singer is going to position the mic so it's pointed at a loud speaker at or near point blank range, but at least this particular singer is very loud to start with.

The wireless mics I've sung on to date tend to be very unforgiving about proper mic placement. Then there are the singers who I've seen use them at competitor's shows who tend to point them right at loud speakers producing ear piercing squeals. At least you can ring out a stage monitor and so what if you lose a few frequencies by ringing those out? And if you feedback when you're behind a speaker at least it's a loud hum instead of a blood curdling shriek. That's all out the window when somebody starts randomly wandering all over the bar.

And then there are the otherwise good KJs who forget to change the battery which again means ear piercing shrieks and now, we have to worry about charm bracelets as well?

Your mic will go all night on a set of rechargeables. Do yourself the money saving favor and buy four now. You can leap frog them in the charger and never run out of juice.

Amen! And avoid using rechargeable batteries with lower mAh (milli-amp hours). Higher numbers has more capacity, thus longer operating time. My beta58 use 2 AA Sanyo 2700 mAh & can go up to 9 hours. I have a 5hr show so I make it a point to insert fresh ones the following night. The 2 used ones back to the recharge box.
