Hand Held Radio Mics, Magnetism & PK Rings

Postby VoodooMick » Mar 26th, '08, 21:03



I was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge, experience or opinion on whether hand held radio mics are moody around magnetic devices?
I'm doing a gig on Friday and wanted to wear a PK ring and a relic but, call me overcautious and paranoid if you will, but, thinking of what might go wrong, I wondered if it desensitizes the mic or alters the sound quality in any way. I'm using the mic to sing into as well as speak so I obviously want it to sound as good as it can.
You'rs Cautiously :wink:

If you're wearing a PK ring, couldn't you just hold the mic in the other hand? Or maybe you could get one of those mic headsets.

Yes I could but if there's no need to worry then maybe I don't need to worry which hand I hold it in. If that makes sense.

Plus, as a singer, I do like to do a groovy pass-the-mic-into-the-other-hand-for-a-key-change-kinda-move.

I might be telling complete fibs, but as far as I'm aware magnets don't cause any problems with radio type equipment, since they're two different things (one's a force and the other is an EM wave)

However, I'm prepared to be proved wrong by someone with more knowledge and experience in that kind of stuff :)
