Four Types of Wireless
Microphones
1. Handheld Microphones

As far as wireless microphones go, handhelds offer the best audio quality which can
be attributed to the size of the diaphragm.

Considering they are also extremely versatile, sturdy, and dependable, it is no

surprise that handheld mics are an excellent option for:
● Musicians and Performers
● Speeches
● Presentations
● Interviewers
● Any situation in which a microphone will need to be passed around (Q&A,
Panels, etc.).
