Radio microphones ...

Micron hand held microphones are particularly respected by
theatre and broadcast technicians the world over. The most significant
feature is that they use AKG capacitor microphone
capsules, and can be fitted with cardioid or omni
directional capsules. The heads are interchangeable by
the use of an allen key. Because of their capacitor mic
capsules, the sound is distinctively bright - the top end
is noticeably clearer than with dynamic capsules. On the
down-side, many people find that they are more prone to
feedback, particularly the omni-directional capsules when
used near PA speakers such as stage monitors.
These mics operate with the same range of receivers that
are used for the pocket transmitters (below). They use 9
volt "PP3" batteries and feature an inaudible
tone which indicates low battery power at the receiver.

These pocket transmitters are available with a variety of
microphones and other inputs. The most popular are the
Sony ECM 50 & ECM 55 series of clip-on lapel mics,
the Sennheiser miniature MKE-2 which can be taped to the
head or body, and input leads for other microphones such
as Shure SM10 head-worn mic (with microphone boom in
front of the mouth) and Sennheiser MKH 416 gun mic for
remote outdoor work.
The larger transmitters, the TX102 and TX502, take two
PP3 batteries to give longer life between battery
changes, whereas the smaller transmitters use only one
battery. A single alkaline battery will actually keep a
transmitter going for up to 8 hours, but as that includes
a good deal of operating below full voltage and a measure
of luck, we would recommend operating for less than half
that between battery changes, unless you are simply
rehearsing.

Micron radio mics are also available with a choice of
receivers, rack mounted modules (pictured below), free
standing mains powered diversity receivers and
battery-powered portable receivers.

Sennheiser G2 radio microphone systems are used by entertainers and
professionals users the world over. The series operate on a range of UHF frequencies
which can be selected using the push-buttons and display screen at the back of the transmitter.
The SKM565 model features a cardioid (directional) capacitor microphone for extremely clear
vocals
