Q: okay. im like gonna buy a microphone and i was wondering like most microphones are wireless so how would you get it to work? cause i got a wireless microphone a while back (cheap one) and like you had to plug it into a microphone jack in a cd player...and that didn't work.

I was told it used to be a diaphragm that vibrated, on the old microphones. What vibrates on modern mics to pick up the sound?


A: There are different types of mics. The ones mostly used today are known as "electrolytic, or condensor" mics. They don't have so much a diaphram as "dynamic" mics do. Condensor mics pick up sound when the sound pressure viabrates one, or both of it's plates.

We already have one mic being amplified through a Marshall AS50D--an amp that is for an acoustic guitar and a mic. But we were planning to have 2 lead vocals, and 1 back-up vocal. Where can we plug 2 more microphones? Keep in mind we are on a low budget because we are just teenagers.

Do we need a PA system? If yes, please recommend one. Thanks!


A: You will need a PA system for what you are doing. It will sound better and be easier to use. Since you are on a budget try something small. The PA in this link is easy to use and has everything you need except extra mics and chords for $200.00.
