Handheld wireless microphones are usually held in the hands of a presenter or a vocalist. This type of microphone is used as a prop in the performance. The most important consideration that should be made is, to maintain the distance between the sound source (the mouth) and the microphone. It can be varied which results in a change in volume and fidelity. This is one of the technique for a number of special effects in a performance to emphasize different phrasing.

This is the perfect mic for lead vocalists. It's also great for stage situations in which a mic will be passed from person to person.

• Be reliable to hold the rigors of live performance and travel.
