Microphones have evolved over the years and one of the most important innovations is the change from the traditional microphones with the physical cable to the wireless ones.

The wireless microphone is also known as the radio microphone as it comes with a small battery-powered radio transmitter which is used to send audio signal via radio waves to a nearby receiver unit.

This type of microphone is typically used in the entertainment industry, TV broadcasting and public speaking. Basically, the concept of the wireless microphone is to enable public speakers, performers and entertainers move freely while using the device.

In this post, we will be looking at the different wireless microphone brands and the prices of their different models. Generally, models differ in several ways. For instance, basic wireless models operate on a single fixed frequency while the more advanced models operate on a user selected frequency which prevents any form of interference when using the device.

Additionally, there are wireless microphones that use infrared light; they are usually low cost. These microphones require a direct line of sight between the microphone and the receiver. On the other hand, the more expensive microphone doesn’t require that the receiver is on the same line of sight with the mic.
