Bringing a series of speakers to a podium can make for a memorable event. What no one wants is the event to be memorable because no one was actually able to hear anyone speak. A poor quality microphone is definitely not going to help ensure all the mighty voices at an event are heard. Low-grade microphones, in fact, bury the speaker's voice in a ton of garbled distortions. Again, no one wants the speaker to be remembered for a disaster scenario such as that one.
What A Microphone Needs
At the very least, a microphone must be reliable. Reliability is based on a few factors. The age and condition of the microphone definitely factors into the mix. A newer model is preferred, but there must be zero tolerance for any microphone that is in a terrible condition and looks like it is about to fall apart.
A Quandary
For those organizing an event, trying to figure out whether or not a "seemingly decent looking" microphone is going to be reliable is not exactly an easy task. In order to be sure that the mic works well, the organizers have to rely on the service providing the microphone hire tasks.
A Solution
Rather than play a ridiculous guessing game when trying to select a microphone, it is best to work with a service that has been well established. Good reputations are not exactly easy to hide. Previous customers and clients are going to be interested review the company and provide recommendations. Their help is going to be extremely appreciated by those wishing to select a service known for delivering top microphones, speakers, and more. A solid company is not likely to do anything less than provide solid service. The rental equipment will be in perfect condition and not deliver unexpected and unwanted surprises.
