Wireless Microphones

Wireless microphones and cordless microphones can significantly increase a performer’s mobility by freeing them of the burden of cables. Movement is much easier and the trials of cabling such as tangles, breaks and physical treachery underfoot are virtually eliminated. Unfortunately, they do have several drawbacks. Most commonly, wireless microphones utilize radio waves to transmit sound. This limits the number of microphones in use at any given time to the number of radio frequencies that are available and makes them particularly susceptible to interference. Limited range and dropouts are also notable disadvantages of these cordless microphones.
