Hi! This is a new model to me - I'm trying to figure out a conventional wireless version of the same brand (model TG220,) that has a 1/4" TS (unbalanced mono) on the receiver, to fit most boards and interfaces. I think this model / package deal has been discontinued. I like the handheld use - I can do that maybe. More about that... To add one important detail to your mic analysis - this is the only brand (certainly the only low-cost brand) that features CARDIOID mic capsules - those are usually pretty expensive in these formats, running about $80 per capsule. The cardioid capsule is really essential for a noisy environment. That gives you "proximity effect" - which is that 6-inch sweet spot. It also makes gain control essential to prevent clipping - and/or a pre A/D limiter or compressor. It also makes it essential to point the mic +/- 35-60 degrees on-axis of the sound source - or you get pretty rapid falloff. Not as easy to use as an omni pattern for a lapel, because you're going to get falloff when you turn your head. A compressor (even in edit) will help with that. Anyway - this set came with two transmitters, one receiver, and two headsets and two lapels (4 capsules!) You can run any two at a time, and you can buy an extra receiver. The whole thing I got for less than $100 - and the quality is the same as what you have. Here's the deal. These sound good - but they'll sound great when wired and plugged into a good interface. That's because the wireless signal has limited bandwidth compared to everything else. That should be easy, but their leads are short and threaded. Which makes trying to plug them into a 3.5mm jack or cable extension unreliable. I need to find a cable to adapt - and there are several standards for threading. This isn't one. So far, it's a maybe.
Were you able to speak over music at the end of your video? I’m looking to use this for a tour company into a radio that has Bluetooth music being played from phone and clip this to tour guide to speak. Will the customers hear the guide when this mic is on and the Bluetooth music as well being played via phone or does it cut out and in when the mic is on and when off back to the music?
Thanks for watching! Check out the UM310PRO here: amzn.to/3azjS9k
Great video, plain and simple

Most of the videos show how to record on the computer, zoom or phone with this device, but can it be used as a voice amplifier in a live presentation?

I want to use it to record my voice and piano. How to I do that?
when fully charged and non-stop use, how long will the transmitter last? will it last for at least about 3-4 hours?
Yes it will! Thanks for watching :)
