Shure Wireless Microphone- Top Of The Line Mics For Uncomprimising Sound
As times change and the world of electronics is forever coming out with innovative technology, prices for items such as a Shure wireless microphone can be purchased less expensively than in the past. Now, the Shure wireless microphone is affordable for professionals as well as amateurs at manageable costs. Depending on what you’re needing a Shure wireless microphone for, there are several to choose from that will meet your needs, be it for home use, musical entertainment or to be used for your child’s school production.
Wireless microphone system/ Shure wireless microphone/ how they work:
The Shure wireless microphone is battery powered and has a built-in antenna in the frame of the device that sends signals from the wireless transmitter that emits a radio frequency and is picked up by a local receiver. The receiver is tuned to the same radio frequency as the transmitter, either UHF or VHF
Shure Wireless Microphone
The Shure wireless microphone works on either UHF (ultra-high frequency) or VHF (very high frequency). There is some debate as to which is better UHF or VHF, but both frequencies are fairly similar and should be chosen based on their intended purpose. UHF and VHF operate in different bands of the FM spectrum. UHF is more expensive and outputs more power meaning a shorter battery life, but offer fewer drops out zones (areas where your microphone won’t work) and a longer range of 600ft as opposed to the VHF range of 300ft. Since there are fewer UHF operating systems than VHF, there is less of a chance of interference. If you’re planning on using your Shure wireless microphone for lecturing, a wise choice would be the Shure wireless microphone that operates on VHF. VHF, less expensive than UHF, has the disadvantage of operating on a lower radio frequency inviting the risk of interference from other electronics or household appliances emitting similar radio frequencies. For example, UHF would be best used during a musical production where several other electronic s is operating on UHF. You would be less likely to risk interference from the other electronics.
VHF is great choice for lecturing because it’s in an enclosed environment where the wireless microphone will not be in competition with several other electronics.
Wireless microphone system/Shure wireless microphone: offered in various technologies
You can also choose to purchase the Shure wireless microphone with infrared technology. Infrared works by using LED’s that emit infrared radiation. Comprised of three components, the infrared system operates with the transmitter, receiver and emitter with the transmitter modulating the audio signal onto a carrier frequency using digital techniques. The emitter takes the signal and converts it into infrared light. The advantage of using infrared technology is not having to deal with radio frequency interference like with those Shure wireless microphones operating on UHF or VHF and is more secure and not prone to eavesdropping from appliances like your neighbors baby monitor picking up your signal. However, there are some drawbacks, such as being a device that requires line of sight in order for it to work.
Shure Wireless Microphone
For example, your TV remote operates on infrared. If you have someone standing in front of your TV while you try to use your remote it will most likely not work due to the person standing in front of the infrared sensor located on your TV. Infrared cannot penetrate walls and can be affected by room ambience, such as sunlight. Infrared is however, cheaper than the aforementioned technologies.
