Not any response the first time to my question. I want to buy a wireless headset mic system and will run into my PA800 as the amp/mixer. Any suggestions please?

Thanks,
zuki

The best I, and many other users, can recommend is the Samson AX1 system. Very compact, excellent quality, and I've never read or heard any reports of outside interference from other high-frequency transmission sources.

Good Luck,

Gary

I second Fran's suggestion. the AT is a great wireless mic and fits with most wireless systems. It is also available as a complete unit from AT.
We have ours connected to a less expensive AT system or you could connect with other manufacturer's transmiiter/receiver; just plug in the mic.

Gary,

Doesn't appear to be a headset version that I can find?

Zuki, why would you want the full headset version? Have you ever used that mic they suggested? It's VERY comfortable to wear..., and it's EXTREMELY light. Plus the size of it really makes a world of difference. I've seen so many OMB's using the huge headset mics.., and I can't understand why (with all the complaints here about gear size).., when someone here would then take a huge headset mic and choke their face with one.

I've used this mic listed.., a buddy of mine (guitar player), uses this mic.., and WOW was it nice. Good crisp vocals, and you didn't suck in a ball of foam every time you inhaled. People here often talk about connecting with the audience too. I think it's much more effective when they can see your face.

I saw a guy perform not too long ago (friend of a friend).., he used the full headset mic.., and some heckler came up to him and placed an order for a burger shake and fries (a wise-crack about his headset mic).

HE HE HE HE

Yeah.., it was freakin funny man! I had to bite my lip very hard to keep from laughing because for some reason the timing was just right and the guy (the way he was dressed) even looked like a McDonald's employee.

I for one am not an advocate for hecklers at any performance, but let me elaborate more on what this guy did. This man went all out.., he pretended as if he was driving a car, pulled up next to the guy wearing the headset, rolled down is imaginary window and placed a freakin order My lip nearly bled I had to bite it that hard to keep from laughing.

Zuki,

The Samson AX1 is not a mic--it's a very small wireless system that makes any mic wireless--handheld or headset. I used the AX1 with my Crown CM-311A with excellent results. Also used it with a PRO8-HEX and Samson Q7 handheld. The transmitter is about the size of a 12-gauge shotgun shell and runs 9 to 12 hours on a single AAA battery. The orriginal reciever was the size of a pack of cigarettes with a 2-inch antenna. The newer reciever is a bit larger and has a pair of antennas for running two systems. The range is about 150 feet with no interference.



Cheers,

Gary

OK, now I'm really confused.

Squeak, are you referring to Fran's suggestion? That system runs $600+.

Gary, it appears I have to buy separate stuff from different mfgs?

What about this new Shure thing with the very unnoticeable headset? PGX4
