Strange for me to ask such a question but I've simply
got no direct experience of this end of the market.

My brother is an elder of the kirk and they need a
replacement body pack radio mic. Just for the minister.
These days they wander round the kirk rather than
remaining in the pulpit. ;-) One which you popped into a
charger after use would be ideal - it's only used
perhaps three times a week for about 2 hours each time,
and finding someone with reasonable skills to change
batteries on a regular basis isn't that easy. A separate
charger would be better than one in the receiver.
It also needs to have a convenient way of the minister
being able to mute it for hymns - for obvious reasons.
Although I'm willing to modify it for that if it isn't
possible. The current one he switches off which isn't
ideal. Although might be ok when moving to the correct
frequency. The current one is VHF.


Give Canford Audio a ring,

They have some very knowledgeable people there in their
tech support dept for that sort of thing....

They seem to stock Sennheiser and Shure, so they are clearly in the game.

They don't seem to deal in AKG, Lectrosonics or Audio Technica, so they seem
to have their limits.

Oh, and people should know that UHF operation and diversity reception are
the marks of even a minimally-effective system.

For extra money you get ultrasonic tone-based muting and frequency agility.
Both are highly recommended.
