Hi any recommendation for a radio mic system with headset for use by a Ceilidh caller out front of house - to be used with 2 x BOSE L1 M2
PA system

Thanks

I don't have all the details but better to wait a while if you're in the UK.
The frequency is about to change making most headmikes currently on sale, useless from next year!

UHF most systems will do the job, get one with a diversity receiver for choice.

If your caller isn't used to a headset, watch out for moving in front of the FOH speakers - you can get horrendous feedback. Noisy breathing and coughing can be a nuisance. Many headset mics are tailored to give a rising frequency response so that the mic is worn to the side of the mouth where the hf is less. This takes some getting used to - the temptation is to stick the capsule in the front of your mouth - this gives a toppy sound and is more prone to popping. The method of fitting varies between manufacturers; some are more comfortable and stable than others. We currently use a Shure, which replaced a VHF audio technica.
