I'm sure I will come off sounding racist or provincial for saying this, but my first gripe is with companies who won't bother to spend just a little bit of money and hire an actual English-speaking individual to write their user manuals. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest.First of all, what was in the box:
1. (1) Receiver unit. Well packaged, in good shape, wrapped as a brand-new unit should be. It has ONE 1/4" female jack in the back, plus ONE female unbalanced XLR jack. So your balance will be done on the front of the receiver, NOT in your mixer.
2. (8) Transmitter/body packs. These were also individually packed. Very lightweight (feeling somewhat cheap, but the batteries weren't installed, so I thought, "no biggie.") Each receiver takes two (2) AA batteries (I would prefer using 9 volts). The batteries might as well not be included, because you won't be able to use what comes in the package. Factor that into your purchase price: 16-pack of Duracells or Energizers are a must-have for this product. I recommend getting 32, since you'll burn through them pretty fast.
3. (2) Antennae. Kind of surprised me that only two antennae are used, but I'm not the assembling engineer, so whatever.
4. (1) Power supply, DC. I forget the voltage/polarity, but it's a common enough variety that I'm confident I can replace it at Radio Shack if necessary.
Here's where the surprise came:
5. (8) Lavaliers and (8) head-worn microphones. That's right, this kit (or mine did, anyway) comes with a total of SIXTEEN (16) microphones. Of course, you can only use as many mics as you have body packs, but with each pack coming with its own lavalier & head-worn mic, your possibilities are a lot more expansive than the advertised 4-and-4.
Now, this is a great-looking kit for what I paid for it (around $300). But remember: you get what you pay for! When we unpacked this device and connected it to our system, we were not able to use it AT ALL for the purpose for which we got it: we were presenting a play in our church's gym. Maybe it was the iron girders, I don't know, but the transmission from EACH MICROPHONE/BODY-PACK was inconsistent (and one channel didn't work AT ALL) and noisy. By "noisy" I don't mean that the sound was fuzzy or anything, I mean it's noisy from perceived interference (again, probably coming from the girders in the gym).
So I did what any red-blooded American would do at this point: I looked at the instruction manual. To spare you from the rant I feel like inserting here, refer again to my comment at the top of the post. Okay, I'm past that. But this I couldn't get past: if one of the devices doesn't seem to send a signal, Pyle's astounding advice for dealing with that channel: turn it off.
What? Turn it OFF? So lemme get this straight: I bought an EIGHT (8)-channel kit, but I can't use all eight channels? What about, um, sending a unit that has been checked to guarantee that all channels work?
So... if your needs are well insulated, small, and you don't care how good it sounds, this is a good kit for you. If, however, you need an arrangement that deals well with space, possible ambient interference, and sounds good, then you can just move along--these aren't the droids you're looking for.
Buy Pyle-Pro PDWM8900 Rack Mount 8 Channel Wireless Microphone System with 8 Lavalier/Headsets Now
Pyle-Pro wireless microphone system is a very good system for the price. Would recommend. Performed great in stage play in 800 seat auditorium.Like this wireless microphone system came with the lavalier and the headset style microphones, great for individual comfort. The mic volumes are easily controlled with separate volume control, and have clear voice response with very limited background interference.Very simple to set up and operate, no issues, quality product.Cheap wireless microphones are usually just toys that sometimes work and sometime don't. This set showed up fast, well packed, and all 8 mics worked out of the box. I used them in a children's show. The venue was an elementary school cafeteria/theater combo room. The mics worked fairly consistently throughout the twenty minute act. One of the antenna broke almost immediately, but was easily repairable. All in all, not a bad way to add some volume for the little ones.
