A microphone is an electronic device that convert sound into electrical energy and back into sound energy when it is transmitting out from the speakers. A wireless lavalier microphone is one tiny device that can be clipped onto your collar. It is usually linked to a wireless transmitter strapped to the belt or body. The transmitter will then link to the base wireless station.
This frees your hand and you will be able to use them for other purposes. They are commonly used by people giving presentations, bodyguards, backstage personnel and even professional singers giving a concert.
Here are some wireless lavalier microphone buying tips to consider while shopping for lavalier wireless microphone.
Frequency of Wireless Lavalier Microphone System
This is one important factor to consider before purchasing your microphone. This rule can be applied to other wireless products which you intend to purchase as well.
Ensure that the wireless system has a wide range of wireless frequency which you can switch to. If you are suffering from signal distortion, typically changing to another frequency will solve the problem. Hence, with a wide range of frequency channels, you will be able to solve your signal problem and indirectly increasing the wireless signal range of your wireless microphone.
Auto Scanning of Channels
If possible, purchase one wireless lavalier microphone system which is able to automatically scan for "un-congested" frequency channels. This will ensure that you are on the best frequency channel and will not be suffering from signal related issues.
Clarity of the Sound
Depending on your usage, this is another specification which you need to note before buying. If the system is used for a stage presentation, a microphone with small frequency range, 50Hz to 16kHz, is ample to allow the audience to hear the presenter's speech.
However, if you are using it for a concert or to sing a song, it is recommended to get an more expensive wireless lavaliere microphone which is able to support more frequency range such as 20Hz to 20kHz
Battery life of lavalier wireless microphone This is important if you are planning on using it for more than 2 hours. Common lavalier wireless microphone has a battery span of 2-3 hours. It is a common known fact that battery will lose their ability to store 100% of the charge rate over a period of time.
Hence, if you are going to use your microphone that you have kept for a long time in the warehouse, try using it on a full charge and check how long it took to become flat.
Certainly you do not wish to battery to be flat when you are giving an important presentation or while singing.
Another buying tip. Instead of buying those wireless lavalier microphone with 2-3 hours of lifespan, consider getting those which are able to last much longer at 7-10 hours per full charge. Although they are slightly more expensive, they could make or break the deal when you need it.
Simultaneous Connections to the System
If you are using for a presentation with a single speaker, a wireless system which has a single antenna to link to one wireless microphone is ample. However, if it involves an event like debate where several speakers will be speaking at the same time, the recommended guide line is to look for a wireless system which can handle 30% more simultaneous connections. This ensure that you are able to add in more connections for additional wireless microphone for speakers if needed.
Generally, buy one set of wireless lavalier microphone system which is customized for your needs. If you are using your sound system for demanding environments, be prepared to fork out money for quality product as they provide you with better sound quality, wider frequency response and more features.
Look for product specifications on-line and read the reviews of the buyers. From there, you will already have a clearer picture of how suitable the wireless lavalier sound system is suitable for you.
