Samson AirLine Synth Earset - True Diversity UHF Wireless System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The belt pack is very small compared to most others we've used. The diversity tx/rx setup is simple - but - you cannot change the frequency with the mic attached to the belt pack. Odd, that.
Our pastor says the earpiece is very comfortable, and does not slip during service. He wears glasses, so many other earpieces were either uncomfortable, didn't fit at all, or would slip. The slip resulted in the mic boom dropping significantly enough that the pastor couldn't be heard. With the tension band on this earpiece, that hasn't been an issue.
The mic is well suited for male speakers. There is a noticeable boost in the low end compared to other headset mics we've used. So far, the unit has performed well and fit, rather than busted our budget.

Shure ULXS4 Standard Wireless Receiver, M1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got this to replace our old unit in our church which became obsolete when the FCC changed their regs. The old unit was a Shure, but this is really an upgrade in quality. With the rebate it was worthwhile to get the better unit. It has better range and better sound quality than the old unit.

Shure PGX14/93 Lavalier Wireless System, L5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this at a local Guitar Center in Pasadena, CA. the label sign said $648 and they realized it was mispriced. In stores it's actually $399.99 and he gave me 10% off because I really wanted the lower model PG14 which they don't carry in stores.
At our church, we rent out a school auditorium where there's no sound padding. We currently have a Shure wireless handheld (looks like a Pg14 + handheld but I think it's some older model) and a Sennheiser wireless lapel system that's been giving us a lot of interference/feedback.
First I tried the new AKG wireless presenter set and it had a lot of pops and feedback even though we adjusted the squelch and other areas.
So we tried this PGX14/WL93 system and this past Sunday there was no feedback, pops, in interference. We only experienced the clean and clear interference-free sound that comes from Shure.
On the base unit, I mounted it on top of our other Shure (which was set to channel) 1 and pressed channel and it seems like channel 9 was the only available option (7, 8, 9 at first, but now just 9). I think this is fine as we won't be adding more wireless systems, as of yet.
Once we popped in the 2 AA batteries into the transmitter unit I brought the unit over to the wireless base and hit "auto-sync". I wasn't sure if it was 1 tap or hold so I held it and it synced. After that, everything worked beautifully.
I appreciated that the body transmitter was easy to use. Hold the top button for power (green), push once for mute (orange), and again for unmute (green). On the side there's a gain switch for mic (high), 0 (medium), -10db (low). the "0" level was the best because mic was too loud and pitchy.
The lavaliere mic was great. I originally thought it would pick up too many other ambient sounds since it's a condenser mic but even with the band playing in the back the speaker was the only voice captured in the mic. there were no pops from "p" sounds and it did not have ruffling sounds on the shirt/jacket (I did not put on the wind screen which is quite big and odd looking). All we received was clear sound.
The other good thing about this model (transmitter) is that you can use 3 different lavaliere mics: WL93 (which it came with), the higher end WL185, or the lower end PG185 which comes with the PG14/PG185.
WL93: $80, WL185: $100. PG185:$40.
Having loved the countryman, I am now completely fine with the above options. Countrymans break and cost $400+ just to replace the mic (yes just the mic!). I don't know how the lower end PG185 is, but I assume it's Shure clear. So for $40-$100 to replace a lavaliere mic, I would gladly choose this over and over again! And Shure will be the brand of choice over and over again.

Shure PG14/PG30 Wireless Headset System, M7 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great range. Light weight. Headset and bodypack transmitter are very comfortable. The bodypack clips to your clothing, therefore I did not need a neoprene belt. The wind sock tends to slip off the mic, but that is not a big deal.

Shure ULXS24/BETA87A Handheld Wireless System, J1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great wireless mic! I have used this mic in a room for 130 people and a much larger venue for 1,000 people and the mic performed perfectly! I also use another Shure wireless mic (ULXS24/SM58 type head) and I have not noticed a sound quality difference yet. The BETA 87A head is supposed to be better and that is why it is more expensive. I'm sure it is... but I have not noticed a huge sound difference yet! Nevertheless, I'm very happy with both mics! I also use a set of 4 mics from a cheaper brand and although the mics have a solid metal body, the mics tend to drop off sound 4-5 times during a typical use of one hour. The Shure mics are definitely worth the bigger price as they have NEVER dropped off once!

Shure PGX24/BETA58 Handheld Wireless System, H6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great value. High performance at a mid level price. Easy to set up (IF you read the instructions) and the auto frequency select is a great thing. Good sounding mic for spoken word or vocals. I especially like the fact that it uses 2 AA batteries instead of 9V batteries. Good battery life, good range of transmission and VERY expandable. (NOTE: IF you are adding a second one or adding one of these to a system that already has wireless mics, make sure that ALL your wireless devices are ON when you do the auto frequency select)
Also if possible use the balanced XLR out to avoid noise and for a better sound. I also like the power supply not using a 'wall wart' and putting the transformer in the middle of the power cable.
Con: It is possible to over tighten the battery cover and break it. Don't crank it on like Godzilla and it will be fine.

Shure PSM 200 Wired Personal Monitor System with Hybrid Bodypack Receiver, P2RE2, H2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have a smaller church of 100 to 125, and this product has worked well for several years. My wife leads with the piano and vocals. Sharing "real" monitors with everyone else just wasn't working, and she'd strain her voice. The PSM 200 system works great and solved that problem. She just uses the two inputs to monitor her own voice and the piano, so the downside is she can't hear the others on the team. After a couple years, I bought a second Bodypack (here on Amazon) and gave it to the Drummer. The drummer just listens in on the same piano and lead vocals, and that keeps her in sync with where the music is headed. Works for us.

Whether you're playing live or rehearsing, you need to hear yourself to be your best. That's what monitoring is all about. Yet some performers still struggle with booming floor wedge monitors and loud stage volume. Introducing the PSM200 - the personal monitoring break through that performers have been waiting for. Featuring smart, versatile components that grow with you as your needs change, the PSM 200 series is a practical alternative to floor wedges for performers who want to start out In Ear and stay there. The P2R Hybrid Bodypack Receiver is the world's first bodypack receiver to function as a wired receiver, a wireless receiver, or both at the same time. This and other unique features, along with excellent sound quality, make the P2R an exceptional value. The PSM 200 model P2RE2 is a wired personal monitor system featuring the P2R Hybrid Bodypack Receiver and the clear SCL2 Sound Isolating Earphones.

DBX 1066 Dual Compressor Limiter Gate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sometimes I think alot of people don't have a clue as to the use or how to use a compressor. I like this for all around use for vocals, guitars, some bass and even mastering tracks on my software sub mix bus, this can smoothing out the peaks if set correctly, can fatten up guitar tracks if attack and relaese and threshold are properly set...Its worth its money for all around use and is clean if set up properly....good deal

Shure P2R Hybrid Bodypack Receiver, H2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While I think this little unit is expensive (mine was about $300 and didn't include the headphones - -1 star for price) it does work great. The singer already owned the transmitter unit so I only had to buy the receiver. This is saving my ears. I bought some Sennheiser CX200 Twist-To-Fit Earbuds that sound great to use with this. They are the in ear type that you put in very securely and they block outside noise. (One hint bring the headphone wire up over your ear from back to front and then put them in your ear, your lobe provides stress releif for the ear piece and they never come out). I'm a drummer in a 7 piece band and they knock my drums way down so that they are in the back of the mix (they are just picked up by other room mics not mic'd in the rehearsal space). I can now hear everything that everyone in the band is playing and I don't care how loud they make their amps (within reason). This is one of the best things I've ever purchased for playing in a band. I don't go home with volume induced headaches anymore. When everyone in the band gets one, the floor monitors (and attendant feedback problems) will no longer be needed and playing live should go just as smoothly as rehearsal.
One small problem with the unit is the lack of any good indicator for low battery problems. One time I couldn't get sound, checked the channel, checked the power light all good. The singer suggested I replace the battery and as soon as I did, problem solved. Keep a supply of 9Vs on hand for practice and the show.

(More customer reviews)I love this microphone set - great quality, easy to set up and use. My only complaint is that for this much money it would be nice for it to come with a carrying case.
I plan on buying another set as soon as we can afford it.

Shure PG188/PG185 Dual Lavalier Wireless System, H7 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This dual mic system is good for its price. I probably wouldn't install it in a large auditorium but it's great for smaller rooms that seat about 200. My favorite "feature" is that it doesn't have many, or knobs and buttons. Which makes it less likely a volunteer sound tech will accidentally mess up a setting. You could also change out one of the mics for a headset if needed.

Shure DMK57-52 Drum Microphone Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're doing live sound or a budget, or just starting to get into decent recording gear, this is definitely not a bad place to start. You can put an SM57 in front of just about anything and get a usable sound. A lot of people love them on snare's and guitar cabs, and get fantastic sounds from them. I'm sure you could get BETTER sound from other mics, but it's a very versatile mic, and is a great bang for your buck. It would never hurt to have 3 in your mic locker... especially if you're doing live sound. I haven't used mine live so I can't comment on the included rim mounts as I use stands in the studio, but they seem like they'd get the job done.
Given the choice, I'd probably prefer to own an AKG D112 over the Beta 52... but I couldn't pass up the price of this pack. I have both, and use them for different things, depending on the sound I want. I'm definitely not complaining about the Beta 52. I'm super happy with it, and it definitely has its place in the studio and venue. The Beta 52 is less expensive... especially if you buy it in this pack. So why limit yourself to one kick mic? Start with this pack, and if you feel like you need another mic down the road when you have extra cash, get a different one. The more the better. If your goal is to mic a drum kit on a budget, get these and a budget pair of small diaphragm condensers for overheads (MXL 603s perhaps), and you're set. If you know exactly what you want and don't mind spending a bit more, buy different mics. If you're on a budget (studio OR live), are just getting into the realm of decent gear and need a starting point, or happen to be searching for a few SM57's and a Beta 52, this is the package for you!

Shure PG14 Wireless Guitar System, H6 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like this product, i checked this product as recommened by the professionals its great, clear, reliable.
Its amazingly easy to configure, in a few seconds believe me 5-seconds and your set to rock. it begins by connecting via infrared then the wireless radio connection takes place.
I took my guitar to the last end of the house and still rocking no weak singals, i trusted the recommendations and i believe them now, auto channel search and auto connect..
When you cant connect and the light goes orange, it means change the batteries as simple as that, it was not specified though but i discovered it :)
Thanks
