These days, the best wireless microphone systems can sound even better than wired systems, and they are more reliable than ever. They play a critical role in modern productions, from concerts to houses of worship and to business presentations. Journalists, vloggers, videographers, and fitness instructors all depend on wireless microphones for daily work. Hundreds of wireless channels are managed to achieve coordination in tours, shows, and sports events.
The benefits of microphone wireless are very significant: ease of movement, less cable clutter and a low profile. However there are many options out there, from simple analog systems to complex, multi-channel digital operations. Choosing the right and the best wireless microphone system for everyday use seems to be very important.
Sound quality - analog vs. digital
When choosing a microphone, sound quality may be a top concern. This is also a key reason for us to look at digital wireless microphone systems over analog wireless systems. Analog wireless systems use a compander to squeeze the entire dynamic range of a voice or instrument into the narrow frequency allocation provided for wireless mic use, while digital systems can simply transmit a consistent digital signal that provides full dynamic range without companding and provide a more natural sound.
Additional reasons to choose a digital wireless microphone include a much longer battery life which can be up to 40% longer and a high spectral efficiency which allow you to pack more units into a given frequency range.
