A wireless microphone allows the user to transmit audio signals from the stage to the nearby sound system without the use of cables. Generally used in live sound applications, wireless microphones allow presenters or performers to roam about freely across the stage, without worrying about their movements being restricted by microphone cables. Additionally, in the case of theatrical performances, every performer needs to have microphones on their bodies that are meant to be hidden. Such a thing is not possible with wired microphones. The two essential components every wireless system has are the transmitter and the receiver. If set up properly, the system has the potential to deliver a richer sound with brilliant acoustics. When it comes to selecting the perfect device for amazing live performances, a number of factors need to be considered besides the quality of sound. Firstly, it should be rugged enough for travel or handling rigorous performances. Secondly, it should be comfortable and have an easy grip. Thirdly, the resistance to feedback should be good and finally, it should withstand high sound pressure levels.
