Our group hosts presenters of interest to our group. We want to record the speaker and audience questions onto a camcorder. I did a little research for equipment that will work to connect a Wireless Microphone System (Lavalier/Handheld) to a Camcorder via a Mixer. I know the following gear is not high-quality but the $10 wired Lavalier has worked well for years. However, it does not capture audience questions. We want to upgrade to a wireless Lavalier/hand-held mic system. We already own the camcorder and mixer. The wireless mic system below costs about $200 on Amazon. We could spend up to $300. Any recommendations that will be within our budget?
Camcorder - Canon VIXIA HF M31
Mixer - Behringer U-Phoria UMC202HD
Wireless mic system - Samson XPD2 Handheld and Lavalier USB Digital Wireless System with USB Stick Receiver.
Mic Specs - 2. 4GHz USB digital wireless.
Works with any Samson product that features an XPD USB port.
RXD2 USB receiver 3. 5mm line output to connect to a mixer with analog input.
HXD1 handheld microphone transmitter with Samson Q6 dynamic microphone.
To connect the system - Connect each receiver, one Lavalier, and one handheld mic, to the mixer's XLR mic inputs with a USB to XLR adapter.
Connect mixer 1/4" output to camcorder 3.5mm mic input with 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter.
I think this will work for our needs and budget but would like some comment from this forum.
Thanks
