This review is from: Shure PGX14/93 Lavalier Wireless System, J6 (Electronics)

I got this at a local Guitar Center in Pasadena, CA. the label sign said $648 and they realized it was mispriced. In stores it's actually $399.99 and he gave me 10% off because I really wanted the lower model PG14 which they don't carry in stores.

At our church, we rent out a school auditorium where there's no sound padding. We currently have a Shure wireless handheld (looks like a Pg14 + handheld but I think it's some older model) and a Sennheiser wireless lapel system that's been giving us a lot of interference/feedback.

First I tried the new AKG wireless presenter set and it had a lot of pops and feedback even though we adjusted the squelch and other areas.

So we tried this PGX14/WL93 system and this past Sunday there was no feedback, pops, in interference. We only experienced the clean and clear interference-free sound that comes from Shure.

On the base unit, I mounted it on top of our other Shure (which was set to channel) 1 and pressed channel and it seems like channel 9 was the only available option (7, 8, 9 at first, but now just 9). I think this is fine as we won't be adding more wireless systems, as of yet.

Once we popped in the 2 AA batteries into the transmitter unit I brought the unit over to the wireless base and hit "auto-sync". I wasn't sure if it was 1 tap or hold so I held it and it synced. After that, everything worked beautifully.

I appreciated that the body transmitter was easy to use. Hold the top button for power (green), push once for mute (orange), and again for unmute (green). On the side there's a gain switch for mic (high), 0 (medium), -10db (low). the "0" level was the best because mic was too loud and pitchy.

The lavaliere mic was great. I originally thought it would pick up too many other ambient sounds since it's a condenser mic but even with the band playing in the back the speaker was the only voice captured in the mic. there were no pops from "p" sounds and it did not have ruffling sounds on the shirt/jacket (I did not put on the wind screen which is quite big and odd looking). All we received was clear sound.

The other good thing about this model (transmitter) is that you can use 3 different lavaliere mics: WL93 (which it came with), the higher end WL185, or the lower end PG185 which comes with the PG14/PG185.

WL93: $80, WL185: $100. PG185:$40.

Having loved the countryman, I am now completely fine with the above options. Countrymans break and cost $400+ just to replace the mic (yes just the mic!). I don't know how the lower end PG185 is, but I assume it's Shure clear. So for $40-$100 to replace a lavaliere mic, I would gladly choose this over and over again! And Shure will be the brand of choice over and over again.

This review is from: Shure PGX14/93 Lavalier Wireless System, J6 (Electronics)

I bought this as a back up for my Audio-Technica ATW-3110 Wireless. The system is used to record weddings, interviews, and talent into a HD camera or Tascam DR100. It sounded OK but it is not better than the Audio-Technica ATW-3110 Wireless. The mic is rated as an Omni microphone but seemed too directional for me. There is only a gain switch instead of a knob to adjust the volume. I prefer to fine tune my volume settings at each device. You are stuck with the presets and turning it down at the recording device. The positives are great signal pickup without dropouts (I placed it behind a couple of doors and walls without a single drop in level), easy to setup and use, nice build quality, and a good price.

It will not be my main go to but it is a good system if your money is low but you need a dependable wireless system. It also comes with a nice professional case.
