Recently I chatted with an audio engineer of a local non-profit

dedicated equipment, they use everybody's own smartphone with a

say that most people preferred a handheld because it gives them
something to hold/hide behind.
That's fine if you're recording, but if you need a live mic, that won't
work. Watchdog hasn't told us what he's using this wireless system for,
so we don't know if recording for later playback is an option. I
suspect, however, that if he wants to use a clip-on mic rather than the
head worn mic he has (that works), recording isn't his primary application.

Mike,
Correct, was using this with a PA system for a live public forum. I did record the event on my phone as video+audio, but no direct audio feed.
