As a caller, I consider my mic my instrument. The musicians you are working
with have paid thousands of dollars for an instrument that helps them sound
good. We get off cheap, imho. Depending on whatever the hall happens to have
limits how you sound. The mic is often the weak link in the sound chain. All
of this is to say "Congratulations" on deciding to make this investment.
Tony and I have been very happy with our SM58s. They are affordable
workhorses. I just got a new one. They come in several grades. Do not get
the cheapest, it will not choose a frequency for you. Before buying, be
absolutely sure to visit the Shure web site and get the list of frequencies
for use in your area. The transmitter/receivers use the same frequencies as
TV stations and shure will get you a set that are less likely to be in
conflict. The midrange PGX24 has a street price around $400.

Subject: [Callers] wireless mic recommendations
Hi Folks,
I'm finally getting ready to consider buying a wireless microphone -
handheld, not a headset. What are the minimum requirements I should
consider? What should I expect to pay for such a mic (with receiver)?
Any/all advice is appreciated. Feel free to point me elsewhere.
Thanks,
Warren
