Wireless Microphones with Lapell Microphones

This category contains Wireless Microphones with Lapel Microphones. Wireless microphones with lapel microphones comprise three basic components - lapel microphone, transmitter and receiver. Transmitters come as a separate belt-pack that the mic is connected to (Belt-pack or Bodypack is a small box housing the transmitter and battery pack, but not the microphone itself. It is attachable to belt or elsewhere and has a wire going to headset) – they process the audio signal from the mic and send it out as a radio signal. The receiver then picks up this broadcast and converts it back into an audio signal. There are many types of receiver. True Diversity receivers have two radio modules and two antennas. Diversity receivers have one radio module and two antennas, although some times the second antenna may not be obviously visible. Non-diversity receivers have only one antenna. Receivers are commonly housed in a half-rack configuration, so that two can be mounted together in a rack system. Aimed at presenters and public speakers, these small microphones clip onto clothing whilst a wire runs underneath and connects to a small belt-pack transmitter which runs on batteries. They are unobtrusive, and allow the speaker to make full use of the stage. Very small versions of these mics are often used in theatres and hidden in hairpieces or camouflaged with make-up.
