Hi there saving up to get a microphone for my busking. I have a Roland street cube wich is perfect and works a treat. I have a mp3 player or my phone for music and at the moment use no microphone are a hand held on a cable and self fashioned gim-crack.

I want a hands free head set style mic. The requirements to meet is the transmitter and receiver need to be batter powered not special recharge cells.

I have looked at wireless mic on line but its all to much and I want to know what works on the street. so if you can tell me what your using that be great.


Any help would be great.

AUDIO TECHNICA Freeway isn't bad, its pretty low power and sounds ok, the one things I would change is volume control more easily accessed on transmitter and the connector limits the mic to higher end mics.

I use the sennheiser camcorder combo which has 2 body packs: one as the receiver, one as the transmitter.
Both run on AA batteries.

To go with that, I use a cheap sennheiser headset (hypercardiod) to eliminate potential for feedback.

It's not cheap but it works great.

Cheers guys thank for the advice all is good. I think I probably go with Frank advice. A place I use to work at used the Sennheiser mic and they are great. Its a little more than I was thinking but to be honest I dint really know what I wanted or what I needed.

So I will start saving now and see how it goes. I can use what I have now till I can proper invest.

Any other options please chuck up.

Is this what you are talking about, a Frank? http://en-us.sennheiser.com/lavalier-cli......112-p-g3
