HOTEC UHF Wireless Microphone System with Dual Lapel/Lavalier and Headset Microphones Over PA, Mixer, Speaker, Karaoke Machine for Church, Training, Classroom, Interview (H-K25)

I purchased this wireless microphone system thinking it would perform like other inexpensive systems I had used previously. This product turned out to be much better. I have since purchased two more of these (total of 6 body packs and three dual receivers). I am very pleased with them and will probably buy more. If you need only one or two wireless lavalier or headset microphones you can't go wrong with these. They are very easy to set up and work great out of the box. The body pack transmitters are much smaller than most other systems I have used (2 inches x 2.5 inches x 0.5 inch thick) and weigh a mere 2.5 ounces (including the built-in rechargeable battery). They are quite rugged and have a nice color display that shows the transmitter frequency as well as the battery status. The 900 MHz frequency band these units use is free of interference from TV stations. Each body pack can be set to one of 32 different frequencies (the frequency set for each body pack is separate for a total of 64 frequencies). The digital transmission is crystal clear. You don't hear noise or interference - the digital transmission either works or doesn't work if you get the body pack too far from the receiver. I have used these in a 900 seat theater without problems. I am very happy with these, especially considering the price! If you buy two or more of these systems, please see the notes below.Notes regarding multiple systems:1 - As with all but the most expensive wireless systems you may experience what is called intermodulation interference when the body packs are located too close to the receivers. Usually this is not a problem if ALL the body packs are more than 10 feet from the receivers. Due to the digital transmission this interference will simply causes the receiver to mute rather than make whistling noises. Try changing the transmitter frequencies if this happens.2- The body packs are digitally encoded so that each body pack must be used only with the receiver it came with (even if the body pack and the receiver are set to the same frequency. This is only a minor annoyance, but it does prevent substituting one body pack for another in the unlikely event one should fail.

I've never heard of this brand before but because of time restraints I needed something fast for a project I was working. I purchased this system and to my surprise it worked better than I ever expected. Clarity was excellent and the fact that the receiver packs have rechargeable batteries build in is a winner. I would definitely recommend if you have a budget and need a powerful mic system that's great for live interviews and works for on set production this is a great product that doesn't hurt your pocketbook.

This mic system works great! The audio is crisp and clean and powerful enough that the headset mic can be placed to the side of the mouth so there is no popping, smacking or air noise. Have not tried the lapel mics. Very clean sound. Easy to program channels if needed, but it all worked perfectly out of the box. The body packs are small and light weight. The mic cables have a screw on connection to the body packs that locks the cable to the body pack. Body packs have a built in rechargeable battery.Pros: Very affordable, channel programmable, broadcasts a long distance, audio is amazingly clean, headsets pick up enough sound that the mics can be aligned to the side of the face so no popping or breathing noise, mic cables lock to body packs/transmitters, body packs are small and light weight, body packs are rechargeable so no need to buy batteries.Cons: Mic cables are somewhat cheap, but work fine, body packs have a cheap plastic and difficult to use belt or pocket clip, audio meters on base station do not represent the audio level and for the most part don't work correctly (but it doesn't matter because the sound is clean, no need to monitor meters), body packs recharge with a mini USB cable which is provided, however they do not provide a charger, so you need to use a phone charger or a USB port on a computer to charge.Overall, this is a lower end system, but you can't beat the audio quality and bang for the buck. If you don't have a big budget to by mics, this is a great system as long as you take care of it. We use it in a large church and it works great!

I purchased the set that contains the (dual) base unit, two head sets, and two lav (lapel) mics. No handheld mics. The construction of the base and transmitter units seems pretty solid and with easy to read LCD displays. The only weak point may be the 1/4” out mix plug on the rear of the base feeling loose. The lav mics are a bit less sensitive than I had hoped. Great for not picking up ambient noise, but limiting as it may not pickup the bride if you only mic the groom in a wedding situation. Something raising Gain control at a board might compensate for.Concerned about range (distance)? Don’t be. I was able to travel 350 ft away from the base, and never lost connection or sound quality. Extremely impressive! There are volume controls at both base and transmitters.The only cons are a cheap belt clip on the transmitters , lack of a gain control, and shorter than expected cables for the mics. I would also prefer replaceable batteries over internal rechargeables. Guessing once they’re dead, the transmitters are gonna be useless.I haven’t done a serious voicing quality check, but early tests reveal these are plenty good for an auctioneer, preacher, or seminar. I’m thinking it’s going to be good enough for my band drummer to do a few songs on too.Keep in mind you will need 120v AC outlet to power the 12v DC inverter (power) pack. Or, you could utilize a portable 12v DC power pack of your own. Even a car battery could work.Comes with a short 1/4” to 1/4” instrument cable (same as a guitar cable) to plug to a mixing console, powered amp or speaker. Otherwise, you will need to buy an XLR (mic cable) to connect up from the base to your mixer or powered speaker.
