Question 1

What's the best microphone for a church sound system?

Accepted Answer

For lead vocals and preaching, dynamic handhelds like the Shure SM58/Beta 58A are reliable and feedback-resistant. Add a wireless lavalier or headset for the speaker, and condenser instrument mics for music. We can spec a complete pack — just tell us how many sources you need.

Question 2

Wireless or wired microphones?

Accepted Answer

Wired mics are cheaper, simpler and never run out of batteries — perfect for fixed vocal positions. Wireless mics suit roaming presenters, theatres and bands that need freedom of movement. In NZ, make sure your wireless system runs in a legal frequency band.

Question 3

Condenser vs dynamic — which do I need?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic mics are tough, handle high SPLs and reject feedback well — great live. Condenser mics are more sensitive and capture more detail, which suits studio, overheads, choirs and broadcast.
