Hi,
I'm new here and I just wanted to say thanks for all the helpful posts across this forum. It's a great resource and I've learned a heap. I'm part of a four man comedy group from Australia and we're about to do a few outdoor festivals so we're looking into buying some wireless microphones. We don't have a massive budget so we'd like to keep the cost as low as possible. The mics will primarily be used for dialogue but (very occasionally) they will be used to amplify some singing.
I am thinking about the following system: Ashton Music , which is an Ashton AWM400 with four seperate channels built in. It retails for about $1100 AUD.
For microphones, I was thinking of picking up four MM Audio MM-PSM Pro Series Directional Earset Mics from here: MM Audio - The Next Generation of Pro Audio Equipment. These will come to about $500USD.
Does anybody have any thoughts about this setup? I know nothing about the quality of either the mics or the wireless system. I'm just confused with all of the different options. I was looking at perhaps getting four Shure PGX systems with HS-09 mics, but they are about $1000 more expensive than the above option and I'm not sure what quality difference it would make.
Any comments on the above setup or suggestions on a different budget system would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for all of your helpful posts.
Cheers,
Joel
