VocoPro Silent PA | The Best Affordable IFB

[@danniv13]

I’ve been using these as IFB’s for a few years on Channel 15 without any dropouts. My solution for the clip is a very similar pouch and I added lanyards to the pouch as an option to wear around the neck.

Thank you for the comment and your info. The lanyard is a good idea as well.

Nice review! Thank you bro! If by any chance you have the opportunity to also review the Vocopro Silent Symphony, would be awesome! I'm considering that option for client monitors (low market level!)

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I will look into it more deeply, but at first glance, I'm not sure the Symphony would really be a better option than the Silent PA. I imagine they would simplify the setup since you simply have to give headphones to the clients instead of the whole transmitter, pouch, and headphone kit. But they don't seem to have any adjustable frequencies, and I'm not really sure I would want RF receivers so close to their heads. On top of that, we usually buy really cheap headphones like the Sony MDRZX110 because clients and directors do not take care of them; they will drop them on the floor, forget them at some place, etc. So replacing these headphones when they break (and they will) would be more costly and less environmentally friendly than a modular system like the Silent PA. Also, the transmitter of the Symphony has a rechargeable battery which does not seem to be replaceable. So, over time, it won’t last as long, is bad for the environment, and could be annoying if you forget to charge them. So, like I said, we will look into it more deeply, but for now, we would not recommend the Vocopro Silent Symphony. We hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

​​​@@MorphilmAcademy Thank you very much for the reply! So, I'm talking about the older version, 30 units kit: 900Mhz band, 3 different channels. AAA replaceable batteries, 18hrs running time. $31.5 per headphones.

​@@sebastiangutierrezumana I'm not exactly sure what version you mean, I can't seem to find a 30 units kit on their website. But in any case, from your description, they seem to have the same problems that I mentioned. Also, I'm not sure why you would need a 30 units kit, unless you are doing a silent disco (which is what it was designed for)...
