DJ Tips: The best Microphone for Mobile DJs | How to be a better MC?

[@brendenfriedel2739]

Just saying I have 16 QLX-D in one rack on the same FREQ. range. No issues. There’s a thing called switching frequencies and wireless workbench id a QLXD over SLX or even ULx

[@devinbalkaran]

Used a Sennheiser during my DJ days and never had a problem. Outstanding sound and build quality.

[@jamesryan1939]

10 years, over 200 weddings I have never had a mic cut out. Always use a fresh set of batteries, currently use Samson Concert 99 Handheld for MC work and Concert 288 for ceremonies. Zero issues, great quality, and no cutting out. I think this is a case of, I spent too much on this, so now anyone that doesn't is using garbage. When you buy equipment, there is a huge diminishing rate of return, $80 mic = terrible / $120 mic = passable / $200 mic = good / $300 mic = better / $500 mic = little better, etc speakers are the same way.

[@aflahn]

Yeah, Samson Concert 99 is a good budget mic I have been using these for over 5 yrs no problem...

[@nerftv468]

No cap my DJ mic cust less than a tenner 😅😅😅

[@djnoy842]

I've used the fifine wireless mic, $60 for dual mics, for almost a year, over 30 events, no drop offs, crystal clear

[@clayremy5346]

I guess I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know a good website to watch new series online ?

[@nodaysoff2005]

I have the BLX24 Beta 58. Never had any issues EVER! Can't justify a $1400 mic unless I am doing concerts or huge events

[@djlobos3104]

Jo Shi can you tell me something a bout blx beta 58a cuz I wanna buy one and I don’t know which one

[@djkeithjust]

Doesn’t matter brand or price point, we’ll at least with shure and senni! To truly avoid cut outs, elevate your receiver that’s why they don’t cutout at concerts! Line of site for is better from up high or next to the receiver. Mount on top of your speaker Barr! Also, do not forget. The more bodies in a room the harder the signal can penetrate QLX, BLX, GLX, ULX doesn’t matter the price you pay or brand model.

[@evanrugaposh299]

djkeithjust Agreed with the height! Before I got the ULX I would always have my receiver elevated especially for ceremonies.

[@reissallan]

"Talk in your car." Genius.

[@musiquito2010]

For me its Shure BLX24 - SM58...… I used Audio Tecnica and the lasted only one wedding season so I bit the bullet and bought SHURE ….you cannot go wrong with Shure .

[@robmoore7378]

I have the PGX D series which is digital by Shure & it was worth the $450 I paid for it. 4 yrs going strong for weddings.

[@guitarman14339]

Thoughts on Senheiser stuff? A venue I worked at had the Senheiser body pack and Receiver. It was an outdoor wedding and it was extremely windy. There was not a single bit of wind sound coming through the speakers and I was super impressed so now that I’m looking at building my own system I am looking at Senheiser stuff.

[@mattholmes2808]

senheiser makes good microphones as mentioned in the u.s. 600mhz bought by t mobile could get a fine if interfering t.v. band. make a variety of mics dj to big concert productions.

[@djgene5621]

Great video! I love the tips. Thanks. I get so nervous when I hand the Mic to the best man for the toast hoping it doesn't drop out. Now I know,I need to save up $1400 for the Shure!

[@rickymarquez9776]

Love you bro 💕💕💕 This is so much help, im still struggling to MC and this is so helpfull your the best !!! Keep it up 🙏🙏🙏

[@nickcata1465]

I'm currently using a Shure QLXD G50 Band, a ULXD J50 Band, & a SLXD G58 Band. (I'm telling this to the guy in the "POSH ENTERTAINMENT" Shirt with the beard)

[@djmollyparti]

this video is awesome, thank you so much! I have the Shure GLX that was great for the first 3 events, but now is completely hit or miss on dropouts event in line of site. And of course it's always perfect in soundcheck from anywhere in the room, and starts getting crazy once the event starts. Chucking that thing.

[@mattholmes2808]

as barr mentioned spending amount of money on new gear only to have the fcc change regulations have to buy new gear to be compliant or having signal cut out due to rf and other frequencies being used at same time when might have to support a band at an event.

[@esezate1]

i absolutely hate talking on the mic! Great tips! my vote for sample #3.

[@Yousitech]

I got this old shure sm58 vhf mic for free and it has never cut out on me in all the years I've used it. Its from the 90s

[@djkeithjust]

The GLXD if it’s being used as a single unit set to channel 4 and forget it!

[@570films]

Yep!!!!

[@partycity55]

I just did a firmware update on the GLXD microphone and Shure said use group # 4 only. You need a windows computer to use the Shure updater app to work correctly

[@djkeithjust]

Dj Allen you can use your Mac. Shure has a firmware app for Mac on their site.

[@djantflahn6567]

I have been using samson synth 7 and samson concert 99 wireless mic for years now no problem. I had a very expensive mic before but it didn’t last. Those mic are both under $300. Some time it’s not about what u spend it’s about brand.

[@DJ-Coma]

DJ Ant Flahn I had the Samson synth 7 for a couple years and it was ok for awhile but eventually went to shit and could barely get reception unless next to the receiver.

[@JeremyLeech]

I use a sennheiser. Never had a problem with it.

[@STATEMENTNYC]

Which model sennheriser

[@JeremyLeech]

eman cort Ew 100 G3. There are higher priced models, but the sound is the same. Just more features. You can also switch out the capsule. I use Se V7 MC1’s on mine. Had to get an adapter for them.

[@kellyaustin7487]

Jeremy Leech I use the shure blx288 and never had any problems what so ever. Affordable and reliable for dj work.

[@JeremyLeech]

I now use the G4 with the sE V7 MC2 and still works great!

[@brandontan4876]

We use both Sennheiser SKM9000 Digital system as well as the Shure SLX Wireless systems too

[@djdumbkid]

that was GLORIOUS! thanks for the tutorial and tell ya boy good luck against mojo rawley at summerslam! sample 2

[@mrhillcityva434]

Can't agree with the mic advice. One of the main features with mic price increase is the ability to run multiple systems at once. Some of these mics have the same transmission and receiving components...just in different bodies..ie...metal vs plastic...etc. $1500 mics are not necessary.

[@DJRickWeb]

BIG agree

[@djkeithjust]

If using 2-3 set to channel 3 followed by frequency,, if more than 3 you will be a frequency manger!

[@kevindavila_391]

This video really helped a lot. Didn't know some of the stuff you guys mentioned. Thanks for making videos like this Barr...

[@piravienthfcbayern]

You linked the AKG mics. How are these bad boys? Are they good for a beginner cause a beginner can‘t buy a expensive wireless mic.

[@dannykiid2011]

Watching this a bit of time after it was uploaded but are shure products named different from UK to us? Can't find Shure PGXD24/SM58 here in UK or for UK at all?

[@djjefffernando7800]

Ive used a Sennheiser freecom on weddings it didn’t cut out. £100 cost.

[@crispa1861]

Has anyone of you used the EV RE3 wireless mic system? I had the RE2, and it never gave me any problems, except for the fking FCC that made it illegal to use. It offers 3 heads, the base ND76=sm58/ the Re420/520=beta58. Price is about the same.

[@djflexproductions5359]

Awesome video as always brotha! I am currently using a Audio Technica line 10 digital system wireless mic 🎤 setup for our announcements.

[@rjpimprov]

Sennheiser wireless is industry standard in live sound.

[@nicholaspeppas945]

@@FenixEventProductions Over here in Australia, Sennheiser is the IS.

[@BmooreproductionsIN]

Lol my schools going to have to upgrade at least 11 of there wireless mics because they are on the 600MHz and right now they are all audio technica but would love if they could do the shure ULXD or the QLXD but they might ass well upgraded all mics. Also if you ever go to sweet water HMU I live about 3 hours from sweet in Fort Wayne.

Thanks bro. Much appreciated this episode. A big issue for many DJs

[@Playboysnow]

My $300 Shure wireless mic has never cut out in 6 years, but I am looking to up grade. Hearing these high dollar mics cutting out scares me. Lol

That wedding was lit 🔥

[@connectheezdots]

I was looking into the Shure QLXD4Q. It's a lot(almost sickening) but for me having four mics in one rack mount unit is almost necessary for where I eventually see myself going. Does anyone have experience with that system?

[@gaffle-411]

My boy has that setup… 4 QLXD4’s (rack mounted) and the antenna distribution rack mount controller ($1k). I just saw him use it once and it was seamless. His whole rackmount setup for the mics and distribution antenna was nearly $5k.

[@connectheezdots]

@@gaffle-411 When did he purchase that setup and from where?

[@gaffle-411]

@@connectheezdots He got them less than a year ago I believe. I think he ordered them through Guitar Center. It’s 4 QLXD4’s, a Furman power conditioner, and Shure UA844+SWB antenna Power Distribution SYstem.

DJ bar I have a question for you

[@DjCBlaq]

Mics are definitely not the best you can afford. Research makes the difference. You can buy the best mic and be too close to interference etc.

[@colehaaf4425]

This was hard to watch. Get some antenna distribution and some paddles kids...
