One OEM I spoke with (and whose devices seem suitable) said that

Hmm. If it could be done easily and cheaply at decent quality, why are
good quality radio mics so expensive?


Cos the pick up transducer costs a lorra dosh Dave. We're only talking
about a simple link here that I doubt would be good enough for a radio
mic and its environs.

Apart from that they aren't mass produced items are they?..

Really? ;-) Usually less than 10% of the cost - often much less.

I'd say it would suffer from many of the problems that radio mics do - the
home is quite a hostile environment for RF these days.

True. But then to get real economy of scale you'd need to sell a lot. And
I'm not sure the demand is there.
