All about wireless microphones - wireless microphone recommendations

  • KiB

We primarily use SHURE and SENNHEISER products, but we generally recommend purchasing SHURE wireless microphones. Comparing the intricate features and technologies of the two products is often meaningless for most users.

SENNHEISER wireless microphones are preferred in specific environments like broadcasting stations or musical theaters due to belt pack usage and compatibility with existing products. However, in other situations, SHURE wireless microphones are more commonly chosen.

SHURE wireless microphones come in various series, and you can select the appropriate series based on your usage needs. In particular, it's wise to choose a series considering the number of microphones that can be used simultaneously and the support for DANTE.

  • GLX-D / Up to 4 microphones used simultaneously
  • SLX-D / Up to 12 microphones used simultaneously
  • QLX-D / Up to 16 microphones used simultaneously (Analog system)
  • ULX-D / Up to 16 microphones used simultaneously (Digital system)
  • AD / More than 16 microphones used simultaneously (Digital system)

If you are currently using a Sennheiser wireless microphone, it's advisable to continue with Sennheiser products. Mixing wireless microphones from different manufacturers is not recommended.

The budget estimate, including the wireless microphone antenna system, is as follows.
