Wired Dynamic Mics Go Wireless: A Practical Test - neckduck

 This post is part of my activities with AliExpress, and I may receive a commission for purchases made through links in this content.

I finally took the plunge and picked up the Wireless Microphone Converter XLR Transmitter and Receiver Microphone Wireless System for Dynamic Microphone Wired to wireless, hoping to cut down on cable clutter during my setup. The initial packaging seemed good, arriving well protected and even ahead of schedule, which was a nice bonus. I was eager to get this system tested out to see if it could truly liberate my favorite dynamic mic.

Putting the transmitter and receiver into action, the look of the unit is quite decent. However, my experience wasn't entirely seamless. I noticed that the signal strength felt somewhat weak in my testing environment, and there was a slightly annoying latency present when using it for anything time-sensitive.

While some buyers have noted issues like channel changing being impossible or even squeaking in the speaker box, my main hurdle was just the slight delay in audio transmission. It's important to note that other buyers seem to feel similarly regarding the signal strength, though many agree that for the price point, it's perhaps acceptable.

Functionality-wise, it certainly does what it claims by successfully converting my wired setup. I did notice one user mentioned their box was missing a specific plug adapter for Canon, so checking the contents thoroughly upon arrival is key. Despite the minor latency and the perceived weak signal, this system is functional for casual use where absolute zero delay isn't critical.

It looks good, and it gets the basic job of going wireless done.

So, who should buy this Wireless Microphone Converter? If you are on a tight budget and need a quick way to ditch the XLR cables for non-critical applications like practice sessions or informal presentations, this device might just do the trick. If you require professional-grade, zero-latency performance, you might want to explore alternatives, as the latency is definitely noticeable.

For those looking for an affordable entry into wireless dynamic mic operation, give this transmitter a look, but manage your expectations regarding signal robustness.
