Just about any 3.5mm microphone wired for standard TRS pin-out will work, and the adjustable mic gain lets you get perfect levels every time. Switch the TX transmitter to line-level and connect it to mixers, music players, or any line-level device output you want to transmit wirelessly to the receiver.
