Audio Technica Freeway 200 Series VHF Headworn Wireless System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchases an Audio Technica ATW-251 Freeway VHF Headworn Wireless System, Channel 8 from New Vista Sales.Unfortunately, the package arrived with a missing part.I contacted them, they asked me to return the goods and a new package would be issued BUT - I had organised the package to be sent to an address in the USA as I live in St Lucia, Caribbean, and they would bring it here for me.Consequently, I requested to keep the parts already received and asked if they could forward the missing part to the same USA address.No reply from them after 5 emails.If you can do anything for me I would be grateful.My friend goes to USA on Thursday 1st May for one week only. Could the part be sent to the original address in that time.PLEASE help as I am very frustrated and obviously have paid for something I cannot use.Thanks in anticipation. Pauline Frederick

Nady Dual Channel Wireless 2-Microphone System - DKW-DUO HT Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I moonlight a couple nights a week as a Karaoke host in 2 different bars in town.I have a pretty nice setup of equipment and use a Shure Beta 58A Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone as my DJ mic.However for my Karaoke guests, I use these Nady Duo's because they are super cheap and for the most part work pretty good in this application.

Why is cheap important?Because mics that you pass out to singers at the bar are going to be more often than not, especially if their singing karaoke, very drunk!Some sing well and some, not so well but one thing in common happens.Mics get dropped, beer spilled on them and just in general, abused!Though its never happened to me, they can also be stolen."Shure" in my opinion makes the best mics, however they are also very expensive ones too. When you watch a $600 microphone get dropped or tossed into a puddle of beer or bar-floor muck, you cringe in terror. So the first rule of Karaoke Mics, they must be cheap!Unless you really know and can trust a singer not to destroy it.

The next most important thing to consider is sound quality.Now again, Shure mics have top notch sound quality and these Nady's are a fraction of that.But the difference to be heard in live amateur karaoke singing performances will not be apparent in 80% of all singers.So these Nady Duo Cordless mics sound good enough for most people and the best singers that you will have, wont really expect you to have outstanding mics anyway so its very likely you'll never hear a complaint.

Drawbacks:

Reception - The range on these mics isnt as good as many of the higher priced cordless mics.However you do get a good 40-50 feet of range in clear view of the receiver before you have any chance of a reception problem.I stack the receiver on top of my PA speaker for a little better reception.It seems to work well in every bar application that I've used them in.You will lose range if you need to go through walls!

Feedback - Absolutely all mics can feedback.It depends on how much you have them turned up (gain) and the useable range cone or arc of the mic.What I mean by range cone or arc is if you are holding the mic straight up and down, there will be a V shaped area from the head of the mic upwards that it will pick up sound.So obviously if you are making noise directly pointing at the bottom of the mic, its not going to pick it up unless it reflects off of a surface and hits the top.The Cone range that these mics pick up is fairly large.So it is pretty easy to pick up background noise or feedback because it is too close to a PA speaker.I again compare this to my Shure Beta 58a that has an extremely narrow cone, that mic does has a narrower cone and you almost need to point the mic directly at a speaker to get feedback.So the main key with these Nady's is.. stay clear of the direct path the speakers are pointed in by about 15-20 feet.In fact stay out of the direct firing range of all of your speakers and you'll be in good shape.

Interference - I have seen 3 different sets of these in action.The first set I got, one of the mics has a very consistent whine when turned on.So I only use that one if someone wants a mic for a backup singer.Luckily they have on/off switches so you can flick it off right when they are done.Not all sets will have this and its really only happened with 1 in 3 sets that i've used.I'm sure you can return one and get one that doesnt have this problem.. but for the cost, i didnt feel it was even worth the shipping of sending it back.

So overall, this is a decent low cost wireless microphone set.If you have never owned a mic before and just need them to mess with or the karaoke application that I mentioned, get them.If they dont work out, im sure you can unload them on craigs list for more than you bought em here for.If you need a high quality mike for a band, i suggest you take a look at the Shure SM 58's or Beta 58a's!

Audio-Technica ATR 288W - Microphone - black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are in the market for a wireless microphone setup for your video camera and like me, you don't want to spend top dollar. You may like the budget friendly Audio Technica Pro 88W/T setup. Listen in to the sound quality and judge for yourself.

Comes with connectors that are compatible with most major cameras.9v battery for the transmitter and receiver.I found no issues getting it to work with my Canon ZR-70.For practical purposes, the sound quality was as good as anything I've seen produced on the web where I know the audio equipment being used is of much higher caliber.This device seemed to hold its own and do a very good job providing close, crisp audio in a situation where it would be nice to roam free.

The distance was not tested.I did not go 300 yards out to see how far it would go.Most videos I've done are in close proximity to the camera but would be detrimental without some kind of on-person audio setup.Having a wireless option makes this possible and enhances the video without providing so many features that is otherwise overkill for the task at hand.

I'm positive on this review as I found the setup easy and the audio quality to be very good without any noticeablestatic or interference.

Product Description:
Whether you're producing videos, leading aerobics, or putting on dramatic works, you'll find usefulness and versatility in Audio-Technica's 2-mic multi-purpose ATR288W wireless microphone system. At the heart of the system are its microphones, AT's ATR35s miniature lavalier condenser microphone and the ATR20 dynamic handheld microphone.
Either mic may be plugged into the supplied transmitter and fed wirelessly (using FM, or frequency modulation) to the receiver and on to your mixing console, tape recorder, hard disk, or other device. Use the system with camcorders, karaoke setup, DJ systems, houses of worship, schools, meetings, or presentations.
The ATR35s (frequency response: 50 to 18,000 Hz) provides "hands-free" use and comes with a lapel clip and a tiny, custom-fit windscreen. The ATR20, meanwhile (frequency response: 80 to 12,000 Hz), is perfect for uses such as singing, talking, and other situations requiring mobility and durability.
The compact, ultra-lightweight transmitter and receiver are each powered by a single 9V battery (not included), on which they last for about 8 hours. The system's normal operating range is 100 feet, though you may get transmissions of up to 300 feet under optimum conditions.
Two user-switchable transmission frequencies and a durable, rubber-coated, flexible receiver antenna assist you in securing interference-free operation. The system comes with a monaural earphone for real-time monitoring, as well as a transmitter belt-clip and a reliable camera-mount adapter for easy positioning and use.
What's in the Box
The system includes 2 microphones, 1 mic rest, two .25-inch adapter plugs, 1 condenser-mic battery, 1 condenser-mic tie clip, 1 condenser-mic windscreen, 1 receiver, 1 transmitter, 1 monaural earphone, 1 transmitter belt-clip, 1 camera-mount microphone adapter, a user's manual, and warranty information.
