Cordless Microphone |
There are lots of uses for cordless microphones. They’re handy for MC’s, DJ’s, singers, performers and public speakers of all types. But whether you’re looking for a cordless headset microphone to teach a yoga class or a really top-shelf cordless karaoke microphone there are some important factors to consider.
- Frequency Range: The whole point of a cordless microphone is freedom; so knowing exactly how far you can travel without signal loss is essential.

- Frequency Type: UHF, VHF or Gigahertz?
- UHF: Fixed frequency UHF is the choice of most professionals.
- VHF: This is cheaper and works just fine in most situations.
- Gigahertz: The digital frequency used most often in phones.
- Pick-up Pattern: Cardioid Microphones are directional, and block sound from the rear (and sided in a super-cardioids), while omni-directionals pick up all sides.
- Type: Traditional hand held microphones are the most reliable and versatile, but when hands-free is a necessity there are headsets and clip-on (lavaliere) models.
- Batteries: Light, long-lasting batteries are the ideal (at least 10 hours); it’s always handy to have a battery level indicator as well.
Off all the brand names for cordless microphones Shure comes out on top, and particularly among cordless headset microphones Shure is the leader of the pack. Other reliable brands include Sony, Sennheiser and Samson.
