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.

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
