Is this a good enough sound system? I am also looking into a wireless system to start using in my Retirement Home Shows, as using their microphones/stands are very cumbersome to work with. I don't know much about these yet, so that is why I am asking. I notice this has the lapel or headset options, which is what I prefer. Not sure why it is so cheap, which is why I am asking if it will suffice for parlor magic, not necessarily large stage/illusion magic. I also have very little storage space at the time, so as compact as possible is required.

Obviously, for the price you get what you are paying for. I don't think it has a hig quality speaker which determines the clearty of the sound.
It wouldn't be the first time I paid for an item just to test it out. For the $90, you may like it but don't expect high standards in sound production. It appears to be a kiddie karaoke machine. This couldn't compare to the $600-$900 high end microphone with $300 Transmitter and receiver, and a $300 Mackie SRM150, 150 watt amplified Speaker.

The Amazon description says the unit supplies 25 watts at "peak power." While that may be accurate, it is not the whole story as far the unit's capability is concerned. In fact, that means the unit probably runs at 15 watts, which doesn't take you too far.
In comparing these systems, ignore the "peak power" rating, which is more manufacturers' hype than anything else. For example, the PASO unit I use is rated at 50 watts peak power, but normally runs at 30 watts. That's about enough to reach 25 people comfortably, perhaps 50 people tops. Click HERE for more info. It seems that the Hisonic unit only transmits on one wireless frequency. If you get interference from another source at your show location (fluorescent lights, cell phones, radio stations, etc.), you're out of luck. Many of these wireless units have selectable alternate frequencies, which can be a godsend. I also agree that generally, you get what you pay for with sound systems. You might be better off spending a little more money and getting something that will be more powerful, more durable and more reliable. There is plenty of discussion about portable sound systems in this section of the Café', so browse around and see what there is to see. SETH

This looks too small. I've used a Hisonic system and the sound was excellent for a very cheap price. look for the one that comes with three different mics and is about the size of a toaster
