Wireless Microphone: Freedom With Style

A good pair of wireless microphones is a good investment for a composer. The wireless microphones allow the composer to freely move around, as he/she composes music. No more distractions from microphone wires getting tangled with the wires of the electric guitar or the soundboard. With a wireless microphone on, the composer can concentrate on creating music or belting out vocals, with complete peace of mind. It also makes him/her look more professional, thus improving his/her image in front of the audience.

There are some points to consider before buying a pair of wireless microphones. First, the composer should decide where he/she is going to use the microphones. It may be for use at a hall, room or a theatre. In these cases, the quality of microphone required will vary, and consequently the price. For instance, if it is going to be used in a hall, top quality models with auto-reverb facility are excellent choices. The sound produced will be have rich tones, which will sound good in the ambience. If it is going to be used in a room, however, too much reverb effect may cause the sound to break up at higher pitches. In these cases, it would be advisable to lower the reverb effect, or turn it off altogether. Auto reverb microphones are bad choices in this case. Lastly, for a stadium, it’s just like a hall; the higher the reverb effect, the better.

Wired microphones from average companies can help a composer to get by for some time, if the other equipments are high in quality. In case of wireless microphones, however, getting a branded one is probably a good idea. Branded wireless microphones are great when it comes to longevity and performance. The true sound reproduction that most wireless microphones offer is certainly a blessing. This automatically reduces outside noise while capturing the user’s vocals or music. The result is crystal clear sound on the records.

Wireless microphones are simple to operate. All come bundled with cables and can be attached to the audio mixer via those cables. Most of the expensive ones have Bluetooth connectivity option. This provides excellent sound quality as well as noise reduction facility. These can be hot plugged to the mixer as well, so installation is a breeze.

Wireless microphones are great for vocalists who need to record their voices in the highest possible sound quality. These are certainly worthwhile investments that can provide sufficient bang for buck for a long time.
