Re: Acceptability of new Wireless


+1 on the Mipro ACT 707 Handheld's GBF with the MU78 or 79 condenser capsule. They actually sound better than a wired SM58 on most vocals.  More clear and natural. Absolutely no dropouts of any kind and I have had them over 200 feet from the receiver in multiples. Noticeably better starts at over $1000 per channel. I like the middle and top of the line transmitters for singers. The on/off switch on the handle of the bottom line HE (E must stand for economy) is a little scarey. It does make a cool wireless talkback mic for FOH since I had one laying around. As for the bodypacks don't go for the plastic ones if you plan on having them dropped and stepped on EVER. I now have a parts one. Metal seems to take a little more abuse. I believe the ACT 707 series IS the Beyerdynamic Opus without the rider friendly badge.  In other news: Got the Vocopro 4 channel unit in with some used gear. All 4 channels worked just fine. Cool for what it is. Sounded like a wireless SM58 only harsh and nasty. Donated them to a church. Fine for speaking or karaoke vocals loaded up with some effects but a little too much bite for me for most singing applications. Absolutely not rider friendly. I did use them once in a pinch for 4 wireless vocals in a 11 piece show band. Got me through. Don't tell anyone.
