the t.bone TWS 16 HT 863 MHz

I use this mic for meeting and seminar gigs. The mic itself needs careful eqing and ideally a windshield for truly good results in the sound department, the mic is apparently head heavy but in use this inbalance is not a problem and it is comfortable in use. A simple on/off switch avoids confusion with combined mute switches on higher priced mics. The receiver is equally straight forward in use with an easy to read led display and 2 button operation to set frequencies. Range in even large indoor spaces is not an issue and I recently used the system outdoors at a small festival and so long as line of sight between trnsmitter and receiver was maintained the range was very good, at some 40 metres. Excellent value for money!

I bought this a few years ago but I think my ears have improved - or am more discerning so I will most likely order something of a higher quality.

I was using this in an environment with three other radio microphones from 3 different manufacturers. For such an environment which is increasingly common, I realise I need a higher end product which enables much easier setup and allocation of free radio channels.

With this setup getting the radio frequencies right was a bit of trial and error and I was never really sure what was causing intermittent loud noises.

OK for small setups with 2 or three microphones of the same kind from Tbone/Thomann.

For anything more complex its time to think of something more fully featured.
