[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 42998, member: 277"] Re: Value Wireless Mic system for Community Theater (AT3000 or EW100, etc) Hi Frederik, IMHO the MiPro 4 channel receivers are some of the best out there at any price. I would be interested in a couple of the units you just traded in if they are still available.
