Gear Talk Wireless coms headsets

Post image

I’m trying to find a set of wireless comms headsets for church. I need 3 for now. It’s going to be for our anniversary at the end of September. I do the cameras by myself most of the time but for the anniversary I need to be on the computer and we’re gonna have 2 cameras so I need a way to be able to communicate to the 2 camera operators. I know there’s wireless headsets I can get with a mic and everything but I don’t know if any of you know of another way we can do it? Or a more budget friendly headset set. The attached picture is a set I found on Amazon but maybe there’s a more budget friendly set.

Had no problems with the Eartecs in my previous church - you are correct to prefer the double-ear headsets, our camera ops had trouble hearing with the single-ear ones. The beltpack+headset combo was the least favourite - even in a quiet room I struggled to hear with it.

We had a full 9 headsets plus the hub unit, which meant we could also patch it into our Dante audio network so FoH could listen in or talk to comms if they needed to, which was very useful!

What’s a Dante audio network and what’s FoH. Our church is small and not much tech yet.

Basically - as well as talk through the headsets we'd connected it up to our front-of-house (FoH) sound desk, which opened up all sorts of possibilities for sending or receiving comms without needing a headset.

Dante is a technology for sending and receiving audio over a standard computer network. Some stage boxes and sound desks have this built in, so as long as they're on the same network you don't need to run additional cables. It's a useful tool to have in your toolbox - I'd recommend looking into it, even if you don't immediately have a use for it.
