** OK - but I was thinking of some other issues that would definitely ruin a classical recording

1. You cannot use phantom powered mics - only dynamics & batt powered electrets.

2. Typical wireless mic systems are engineered to work with vocal mics, so big signal levels coming from the mic.
Not so good with only mV or sub mV levels.

3. Even with diversity receivers, RF level drops and brief noise bursts are common.
Just one of them and you have to start all over.

4. RF interference from other wireless mics, broadcast TV and data signals can cause the same as above.

Not worth it, for just a bit of convenience.


I'm chuckling at the thought of a burst of audio from 'General
Hospital' being recorded in the middle of someone's precious
violin quartet!


** LOL !

Only ever saw a case like that once here in Sydney.
Involved a Vega R22 wireless receiver on 204 MHz - similar to this one.

Worked just fine with the matching mic, but if another mic used with a similar R22 was brought near the first - the sound from TV Ch 9 popped up clear as day.

Seemed the signal from the second mic mixed with the TV FM sound carrier in the RF stage and the result came in on the image frequency of the particular R22.
