A wireless microphone system is designed to transmit the user's voice wirelessly to a receiver positioned in the sound system, eliminating the need for a physical cable connecting the microphone to the amplifying equipment. In this system, wireless microphones convert audio signals generated by the microphone into radio signals that are transmitted over the air by a transmitter to a receiver.
The main types of wireless microphones include handheld, clip-on, and others. Handheld microphones are devices intended to be held in one's hand but can also be attached to a microphone stand. They are commonly used for singing, giving lectures, playing musical instruments like guitars, and engaging in similar activities. Handheld microphones pick up sound directly from the mouth, reducing background noise but requiring some microphone technique. Wireless microphones utilize various technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, radio frequency, and others. They find applications in performance, entertainment, classrooms and training sessions, conferences and meetings, and other scenarios. The end-users of wireless microphones include government institutions, educational institutions, entertainment venues, consumers, enterprises, and others.
