Can anybody recommend a set of low cost (<£100) wireless microphones?

By set, how many do you mean?

 

You will struggle under £100. There are certainly many VHF mics available, but IMHO you will regret not going for UHF. A good quality UHF system will last you a good while. Way above budget, but the common recomended I guess would be the SM58 UHF, but don't discount a JTS (which is what we have).

 

Sure you'll get other opinions

AKG do a decent single mic for under £100.

 

(first link i found... http://www.gear4music.com/AKG_WMS40_Pro_Vo...Bi0mZL_AyDfv5AR )

 

Wouldn't recomend anything else for around that money though, the KAM ones seem to have a habbit of dropping out and get through batteries like no tommorow.

 

That AKG one has never once dropped out on me, and i've changed the battery twice in about 10 months.

Yeh dont get caught out by cheap radio mikes. Remember a good wired mike aint much under £100. Also remember though that a radio mike is very susceptable 'to walk'

Why not have a look s/h?

I picked up a great Sennheiser with receiver in our local paper for £70

Picked one up at a car boot, unused for £6 can't go wrong at that price. Yet to try it out, worth a go.

I use a set of KAM KWM1920 mics.

Never had a problem with them.

Hope this helps

Thanks guys, that's really helpful!

 

The two positive reports on the KAM sets sound promising. With the recommendation of UHF, it might be worth taking a look at a set of Kam 1930s, just about within my budget.

Not gonna be using them day in day out, so couldn't really justify the bees knees. Just something sensible that will get me by as and when.

Have you made any decision yet steevo?

Look at the Scanner ones. They're about 70 quid and the best thing about them is the good feedback performance of the capsule. They're made by Chiayo of Taiwan who make no end of mics badged up for other people.

As it turns out I have now decided to buy two sets of mics. I picked up a cheap pair of "disposible" mics which are average sound quality but I don't mind handing out for day to day use. I'm also investing in a set of Kam 1930 which I can use for larger events and where I need 100% reliable kit i.e. weddings. Hopefully with both of those sets I should have something to cover the majority of gigs I'm likely to be doing for the time being. If it gets to the point that I have an event that I need top quality kit for, I'll probably hire it in as it seems silly to have an expensive mic for day to day use when I could spend the money better on other kit.
