Hi All,

I hope this helps someone in our community save money on a cordless microphone.

Just now, a caller friend asked me about the ~$130 Monoprice-brand cordless mic system that we use for calling and teaching.  We've used this inexpensive but perfectly adequate cordless mic system for over a year and 16 dances.

https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=600060
2x mics, 2x headpieces, 2x transmitters, 1x 2-channel receiver.

Outputs: 2x XLR for ea. channel or 1x 1/4" combined.

~$130

We've noticed no downsides in spite of the low price, except that Ellen finds the headpiece slips.  I understand the issue as being that long thick straight hair prevents the head piece from clamping snugly.  She solved it once by wearing a baseball cap.  I've worn the mic about six times for calling single dances and to help teach walk-throughs and -- short hair no baseball cap and wearing reading glasses -- had a seamless experience.  Another semi-local caller, who calls a monthly dance and to whom I recommended the same set, hasn't mentioned to me any downsides or frustrations.

I have no relationship with the manufacturer or dealer.  I've bought other things from Monoprice.  The one time I had an issue, they quickly resolved it.

Hope this helps someone.

Rob
