smalljoshua Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Trantec S5.5, S5.3, Sennheiser EW100, EW300, EW500 will all be suitable and good quality wireless systems. As this is a WWRY, do you want to go for the obvious "Britney Style" headsets or the discrete flesh coloured sets? Where abouts in the UK are you based? That would help us recommend suitable suppliers. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacker Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thanks for your reply.We are looking for the flesh coloured ones as I think these will be more suitable.I am based in Berkshire, down in the south, but can pick up :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medina Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Try stage electrics, I've hired radio systems from them and it didnt break the bank, even with the flesh coloured sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon999 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 At RKDO, we hire radio mics with headsets, as do many other companies. Feel free to get in touch, or Google radio mic hire or similar to find others who can help. We along with a few other companies I know of, are happy to courier systems to customers, so it's probably worth getting a few quotes to compare.

chelgrian Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Try stage electrics, I've hired radio systems from them and it didnt break the bank, even with the flesh coloured sets Stage list price is £300 + VAT per block of 4 Sennheiser EW300 G3 per week. So you've spent £1440 + delivery just on radio mics before you start doing anything else. If you want flesh coloured mics you have to add at least £9 per mic per week on to that. As far as I remember they don't do single sets any more so you'd have to hire 12 to get what you want. You would also have to add antenna and coax on to that not sure what the price for that is. Also to run 12 mics off two antenna you'd have to re-patch their racks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Pearce Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm sure the cheerful chaps at SFL in Reading would happily provide you with a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjriley Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Try Lichfield Light & Sound, based in ... yep you guessed it, Lichfield. If not Stage Electrics are brilliant at what they do. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
