The above illustrates a range of mid tier microphones plus antenna distribution & a Shure wireless system for a medium to large size School or College.

Wireless handheld SM58 microphones and WL93 lavalier microphones allow users complete freedom of movement around the stage. In addition, there are overhead microphones for a choir or large group of performers.

The Microflex Boundary microphones used in this example can be used for the lectern and are equipped with features like programmable, silent membrane switches, logic inputs and outputs, and LED indicators. Also included is a range of microphones and Radial DI boxes to cover a full band performance.

The benefit of this type of system is that everything in the audio chain is very reliable and durable; plus with a range of microphones like this, it remains flexible.

Mixing

Automatic control of the microphones are managed with the Shure SCM810 Automatic Mixer. This can increase the clarity and intelligibility of speech, while reducing feedback and reverberation. The Shure SCM810 would then feed audio into a mixing console.

The Shure DFR22 provide an affordable fully-featured 2x2 audio processor with drag-and-drop software for ease of use.

Loudspeakers

The QSC KW122 speakers each have 1000 watt Class D power modules(2 x 500 W continuous). They feature extensive DSP, allowing them to have a great sound straight out of the box. The KW series speakers are reasonably light in comparison to competition and sound great straight out of the box.
