PLEASE HELP....Peavey Wireless Mic System
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2022 2:22 pm
Hi folks,
Our small Grade school has used a PEAVEY wireless system for over 10 years now. It has 2 handheld mic and 1 lavalier Mic. Here are the details along with 2 pictures of the receiver unit.
* We have been having issues with the lavalier cutting in and out and causing a hum – probably a problem with the transmitter or the connection between the transmitter and the mic cable. Also, the transceiver no longer has a clip attachment, so it can’t be clipped to a belt or cincture, meaning you have to try to dig under vestments into a pocket to get to it – not a deal breaker, but definitely inconvenient.
* This led to contacting another company about replacing the mic. Thy indicated it would cost quite a bit of money.
* The contact from this company pointed out that our mics are operating on frequency that the Federal government sold off for private licensed transmissions 5+ years ago and technically, we are not allowed to operate our mics on those frequencies any more, as they could interfere with other users who have purchased those frequencies.
* So, we need to replace the two hand-held mics and their transceivers, along with the lavalier and its transceiver. The two hand-helds do seem to be working fine, but the lavalier is unusable.
My question is, could someone suggest a Model Number that would work as well as the one we have when new?
Thanks, John
