Who uses an omni for live use these days? Even in the studio, it's not very usual to use an omni for miking a single singer...

And live, it's the kiss of death

Yeah +1

Frank enquiring minds would like to know...a response to this question from Diki would be appreciated if you can do it...

The problem...most wireless headsets are omnidirectional....designed for theatrical stage use, allowing the mic to pick up all stage voices...That is why I still do not use a wireless headset mic...and it is compounded , destroying any harmonizer use too...

When I find a good unidirectional mic with a nice tight pattern , I use it...The Samson G7 turned out to be a great mic for me..

Just found this setup from Peavey while browsing the net- anyone use it?

I used the original TriFlex years ago. It was a killer in it's time. This thing looks real good, but very heavy.

Brian,

I had a couple forerunners of that mic, the Pro8-Hex. I may still have them around here somewhere. When I switched to the Crown CM-311A I never used them again. I also had a great wireless system made by Samson. The transmitter was the size and shape of a 12-gauge shotgun shell and had an XLR plug on one end. It ran on a AAA battery for about 12 hours. The receiver was about the size of a pack of cigarettes, had a tiny power-pack and could pick up the mic from distances of up to 200 feet with no interference.

Unfortunately, Samson discontinued them and I sold the ones I had to a couple Synthzone members. Wish is still had them, now!

Cheers,

Gary

Gary, they still make the systems with the universal transmitters.
