It worked great for our Revelation SeminarNov 25, 2008 I purchased this for our Revelation Seminar. The camera was located in the Balcony of our church and the sound quality was very good on my Cannon video recorder. A very good investment for the money. I have not used the hand held mic that comes with it---

Decent wireless systemNov 19, 2008 I was very impressed with this system. I nomally use systems costing around five to eight hundred dollars, and this one actually worked without any noise or interference. One of the nice surprises, is that it worked also with a Audio-Technica T68 wireless system, allowing the use of a high quality hand-held mike as well. I would recommnend this to anyone looking for a back-up or first time system.
Excellent valueJul 31, 2008 This wireless mic system is a good value for the price. Sound quality is good over the range I've been using it, around 30-40 feet. My only complaint is that both the transmitter lacks a "mute" switch and the receiver "chirps" when the transmitter is powered off, so although this would not be much of an issue when used with a video camera, it's not ideal (but still acceptable) as an inexpensive wireless solution for use with a P.A.

Overpriced for what you getApr 28, 2008 There are a few problems that I've encountered with this unit.
First off, the handheld mic is useless. If you hold it in your hand, it picks up all the noise from holding it in your hand. Give it a little squeeze, and the mic picks it up, or even slide it around in your hand, it gets picked up. The windscreen on the clip-on mic comes off very easily.
As far as the transmitter/receiver, the transmitter has no dedicated antenna, it uses the mic cord as an antenna. It can be staticy at times, even in close proximity. If you're monitoring the audio with headphones, make sure that you don't turn off the transmitter while you have the headphones on, otherwise you will hear VERY LOUD static.
This is also an outdated produt. The product box shows a VHS camcorder, and the manuals were printed in 1997, so I guess it's been in the box for about 11 years.
If you need a cheap wireless lavalier, this can get you started, however, I think it's worth more like $35. If you have the money, spend it on a Sennheiser setup instead.
