Issues To Beware Of During Wireless Mic Rental

By Ann Brown


Wireless microphones are a common thing in events and meetings. These microphones offer the freedom of mobility for the presenters and reduce tripping dangers. They are also easy to use and come with a variety of options. As you go through the wireless mic rental process, you will come across several problems despite the equipment having the above benefits. These potential problems can have a negative effect on your event hence the need to know how to deal with them. This article has discussed some of the problems and how to solve them.

Wireless microphones are different from other devices since each one of them requires a single receiver. Each of the microphones you rent must come with its receiver. If you require an extra microphone, you must ensure that it comes with its receiver too. Before the event begins, ensure you have the actual number of microphones that will be needed in the event. Confirm with your presenters and make sure that you have the phone numbers of a local company where you can rent the receivers and microphones for an emergency.

If you are in a crowded area especially in an urban area, you might experience frequency interruptions since the mobile devices in that area will be using the same frequency. Ensure the rental company provides frequency-agile receivers. Also, make sure you know the venue well by visiting a day or two before your main event to test the system.

This system is prone to blockage of signals which results from obstructions within the venue space or the distance from the transmitter the receiver. The obstacles and distance make the dead zones where the microphone response cuts out completely or fades. First, you need to test the microphones in all areas in the space. Then, take note and inform the presenters of the dead zones.

Another common issue that an event planner runs into is inadequate battery life. These microphones need batteries and the risk of running short of battery life is common. As the planner, you can avoid the nightmare by ensuring that all the machines are charged before the actual day. You can also have charged batteries to have a quick replacement in emergencies.

The mobility offered by these microphones is a huge benefit for you as the event planner and the presenters. With this kind of mobility, a presenter may wander off close to the loudspeaker and this can cause feedback and interrupted hearing of the listeners. You can prevent such an issue by ensuring that you and your technicians run a test before the presentations to know the trouble areas.

If you are using hands-free microphones, you might notice that the presenters turn their heads away from the microphone. This causes the volume of the voice to go down. The best way to ensure un-interruption is by choosing head-worn microphones to keep the element in front of the mouth of the presenter.

The above are common problems you will come across as the event planner. You also have the solutions to these issues. The best way to address them is by having a reliable rental firm to help you. This way, you will solve the issues and have a successful event.
