***Where can I find reasonably priced wireless headworn low-profile microphones for theater?***?

Hello!



I am on the board of directors of the Dade County Community Theater in Greenfield Missouri. I am also a member of the Greenfield High School Drama club. Theater is a very big part of my life.



One thing we encounter at both theaters I work in is sound. We despirately need wireless microphones. The type I have seen in other theaters look something like this: http://img3.giardinelli.com/dbase/pics/p...



The only problem is funding. These wireless headworn low-profile microphones cost in excess of 300-400 dollars each, and that is way over budget for us. We would be looking to purchase around 8 of them, and whatever system would be required to hook it into our P.A. system.



PLEASE, please help. We need to find somewhere to purchase these fairly cheaply. I%26#39;m thinking the school would approve funding for $1000-$1500 for this project.



Does ANYONE know of a good, cheap place to buy these?



THANKS in advance!

Answer:

If you already have quality wireless belt paks and receivers - and you wish to just get replacement mics, with cables, to go to these paks, then options could be from at least Countryman and Telex/EV.



The %26#39;buy once/cry once%26#39; is very much in order here. Those types of mics are among many things I deal with year round.



These types of instruments are expensive, they provide superior vocal pickup compared to lav mics ( which are horrid ) and I am not aware of inexpensive units worth investing your funds.
