Would just like some quick advice on which wireless microphones to choose between this ASHTON UHF PRO WIRELESS MICROPHONE SYSTEM AWM200HT :

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260550881522&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

and the Kam 1930 Dual UHF Wireless Microphone System

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330385458805&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I searched the forum regarding the signal bands they operate in, due to needing a license to run on certain bands if im correct?

Would just like some advice on which looks better. Personally I think a rack mount option would be better as we have space for another unit and dual microphones gives us more flexibility for furute events.

Cheers for any advice

Tom

Dont know if looks come in to it. Practicality more than anything, such as weight and reliability.
I would ditch those and buy these as for a bit extra they are a world apart:

It looks good too LOL.
They do a dual system and rack mountable for all the units.

I would rather spend a bit more and not have the mic fail on a wedding speech etc.

Tobys option is the better option than any of those 2 above.

or.... you could look at a secondhand shure sm58 on UHF im sure you might be able to get one on ebay in good condition.

entry level shure PG58 wireless for £160.00

It checked it... and the mic i posted above is also UHF as well For that little bit more your getting a better quality radio mic.

Or a sennheiser freeport radio mic system.
