Hey guys, i am in the market for a wireless radio mic for gigging, only thing is I have a few requirements.
I am actually the lead vocalist in my band. I only play sax (Conn-Selmer Premiere tenor in the vintage finish) when the female vocalist is singing lead.
Anyway, as I'm only using the sax during gigs intermittently on certain songs I need a wireless mic setup that doesn't need to be connected to a seperate clip on transmitter as I don't have time to mess around connecting a cable between songs (our song change ups are quick), i.e. I need to be able to just grab the sax and play without any fiddling.
I don't want to attach the seperate transmitter to the bell, I'd much rather have the mic and transmitter all in one that just clips to the bell.
I also don't want to use a standard mic such as an sm57/58 any more as at many gigs space is limited and having 2 mic stands and a sax stand with tenor on is not leaving me much space to manoeuvre.
I've considered adding a fitting to my vocal mic stand to allow me to fit the sax mic there but when singing I move about with the mic stand so it could be a problem.
Not only that but I struggle with sound with a seperate mic as I provide backing vocals as well and quite frequently end up out of position.
Sorry if I've gone on a bit long there.
Lastly I have to consider budget, i need something that works well but nothing that needs to handle too much as the parts I play aren't particularly sophisticated, to that end the cheaper the better.
I've been looking at new and used but they are hard to come by. The most common recommendation has been the Samson Airline 77.
Does anybody have any other recommendations or know of any places to find a nice used setup in the uk?
Cheers
Fletch
