AlvoxconTG220S Dual Wireless Lapel Mic for iPhone, DSLR Camera, PA Speaker, YouTube, Podcast, Video Recording, Conference, Vlogging, Church, Interview, Teaching

This review is for the Alvoxcon TG220 Wireless mic system (dual mic)I purchased the Alvoxcon TG220 system to replace my lav mic and Zoom recorder combo that I typically used. With this system it allows me the freedom to walk around and to have mics overhead without all the wires.I tested this wireless system with both the Zoom H1 recorder on the RX side, and also going directly into my Panasonic GH4 camera and both worked very well. Checking the recordings in post there is a bit of a noise floor but nothing that can't quickly be removed during post production.Pros:Super easy to pair the transmitters to the receiverThe microphones overall sound is very good, not too bassy and not tenny.Lav mic holds on to clothing very well, and the headset is super light weight where you barely know you are wearing it.The range is excellent with these units, I can use them throughout our whole building and our building typically eats up RF signals pretty bad.Customer support has been very responsive with any questions I have had which gives me the impression that they actually support what they sell.Cons:Transmitters turn off after 20 minutes. ( contacted support and they are currently working to resolve the problem)(See Update)****UPDATE****After working with support they told me that the TX's will turn off after 20 minutes of no audio. I did test this to verify that it is in fact how they work and it did indeed stay on for over 1 hour when there was audio and if the audio stopped then it would power down after 20 minutes of inactivity.****UPDATE****Overall the Alvoxcon wireless system is a very good value for money for those looking to cut the cords on their audio recording system.

I got this dual UHF mic kit to use with a portable battery operated PA amp (Behringer MPA40BTPRO). So far, I’ve tried the mic kit out but have not yet used it in the field. I will be using it to give tours in a bus in a few weeks. It will also be used for dance teaching and to MC events with music playing simultaneously. The description is not clear on a few things. It’s actually better than I expected.Receiver pairs instantly with the mics regardless of frequency change.There is an extremely clever mounting shoe adapter to use the receiver with a camera or smartphone.The mics are of average quality but great for PA use. I suspect a professional singer would want to use a higher quality mic.The mic transmitter body packs have independent volume controls (this part was not clear from the description given). This allows two people to be mic’d at different levels.In the event of feedback one just touches the volume up and down buttons together for instant suppression.I tested it with the Behringer amp while simultaneously playing music from an iPhone via Bluetooth through a different input in the amp. You would not expect Bluetooth and UHF to interfere but I wanted to make sure. They passed the test with flying colors.The construction quality of the parts of the kit is good. They thoughtfully include an adapter from 1/4 in female to 1/8 in male and 1/8 female to stereo mini male.The various pieces come in a die cut foam block in their box. I would suggest keeping this for storage. I would have loved the option of a small handle bag to store the components. It will be easy to get the headsets, lav mics and wires tangled. I intend to find one but keep the foam block to use with it.Overall this dual mic kit is well made, easy to use and works very well. I think it compares favorably to the Audio 2000 dual mic kit that costs 2.5 x as much. The Audio 2000 I’ve used had better mic quality but the receiver is much bigger and takes more setup. I’m not sure that quality difference would convince me to spend the extra money on it if my use was to be simple PA amp or PA amp with simultaneous music or videoPhotos show back of portable PA am with the mic receiver plugged in--very compact and easy to use.NB: I may obtain a discount by leaving this review but I believe my review not to have been influenced by this possibility.

I am a professional speaker / trainer, so I spend a lot of time using a mic. I really want to love this product because the sound quality is fantastic. But the battery doesn't last very long. Some of my virtual workshops are 3- or 4- hours but they battery starts to peter out after 1.5ish hours. Sure, you can recharge them, but that can lead to some awkward moments as I swap out the receiver (there are 2 in the box, perhaps for this very reason) then plug the first one back in so that it is ready to go when the battery inevitably runs out on the 2nd one. Meanwhile, I need to make sure the transmitter is plugged in the entire time since I can't swap that one out (there is only one in the box), nor would I want to. Having to swap both out, at the same time or at different times, would just be too clunky. A simple solution would've been to use actual batteries. I'm genuinely scratching my head about this one. Battery powered lavs just make sense - safe, reliable and proven. Or, battery back up. Plus, we all know that the duration of every rechargeable battery starts to drop over extended periods of use.I'll add that the over ear headset starts to hurt after awhile and it isn't adjustable. I have to jiggle it around a bit so it isn't jutting out over my ears. Thankfully, I have long hair, so I can hide the fact that it is a bit loose sound my neck.I decided not to return them for two reasons: 1) despite the battery issue, they really do work very well and since most of my presentations max out at 2 hours, I often just leave the receiver plugged in at the start because I can easily unplug it with minimal disruption to my flow; and 2) I didn't really see a better option in this price range.
