Ask any musician or singer whether a high-quality microphone makes a difference in a sound system and most would agree it does. Claiborne Sharp Professional Audio in Shreveport, LA, understands the importance of having superior equipment — it’s why the local company has been in business for more than 30 years.

How do you know if a wireless microphone will deliver excellent sounds each and every time? The professional audio experts recommend looking for the following features:

• Frequency Quality: Depending on how it will be used, a good microphone will be able to pick up a certain amount of frequency, which is measured in hertz (Hz). For instance, if it is used for a vocal performance, frequency in the range of 15 Hz to 80 Hz would be ideal. Certain drums may need a lower frequency for better sound.
• Lack Of Interference: Select a microphone that will allow you to adjust the frequency to eliminate interference problems. Check the owner’s manual to learn how to make the necessary changes. The best microphones allow other units to be operated at a time without interference.
• Proper Stands: Because microphone stands come in a variety of lengths and widths, having the appropriate adapters with a tight fit and strong threads will make adjustments much smoother. Look for microphones designed to work with both American- and European-made stands.
