Re: Budget friendly wireless...
What $20 cable do you know that is 100 yards long?
All I mean is that whether or not to use a wireless vs. a cable isn't always about sound.
That said, the top wireless products from a handful of manufacturers now are, for all practical purposes, indistinguishable from a cable. Yes, there are differences between systems and indeed one of our selling points is Digital Hybrid Wireless - a compandor-free audio path. Digital systems from Zaxcom, Shure, ours, Line6, AKG, Mipro probably can not be distinguished by ear from a cable in most circumstances by most people.
Yes - I and others like me in wireless manufacturing companies will actually tell anyone who listens: "If it doesn't HAVE to be wireless, use a cable." But in countless situations in our business, it does HAVE to be wireless.
