Terrible wireless transmitter for microphones

I purchased this transmitter for my mic setup, hoping it would help improve the quality of my sound. However, I was highly disappointed with its performance. Electronics keep cutting off and on during important live recordings, leaving me with unreliable sound quality. Through trial and error, I found that the problem was with this transmitter. The only pro is its sleek design. The con is that its performance is extremely unreliable.

Pros
  • Durable construction and reliable signal transmission.
Cons
  • Requires additional purchase of receiver for full wireless setup.

Very good set for stage instruments.

I use this backpack and WA304 instrument cable with my Fender P-Bass. Very easy to set up and use. Good overall signal performance and RF range for the receiver on my amp. Since this is a mid-range product, the packaging itself must not be beaten or crushed. This is a great package for the price!

Pros
  • Sequins
Cons
  • Weight

Best mic for the money

These bodypack transmitters are great - durable (we use ours 4-5 times a week), convenient (uses AA batteries - cheap/a lot) and simple (no manual ones Frequency sync with IR sync; Sensitivity booster is on the side). The only very minor issue is that the antenna is very flexible and I wish it was stiffer - it just looks ugly upside down. I can understand why (I don't want him poking you in the side). In my experience, real world battery usage is about 4 hours non-stop on AA alkaline batteries,

Pros
  • Best in the niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
