Speakers... for presenters

    I went looking to buy speakers for a presenter system (somewhat serious setting of business meetings) and found that the task was a lot more difficult than I had guessed.

    I know that I need either mains or battery operated speakers (i.e. not ones part of a home cinema system) that has a microphone port.

    But in terms of wattage and sound quality I am all at sea. Most speakers that seem to have microphone jacks are designed for karaoke. Would these speakers be suitable for serious presentations (I mean in terms of quality, LED lights can be disabled).

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    HiFi amps/speakers are not suitable for a serious business environment, they’re designed to reproduce music in a domestic setting, not project voice in a meeting room situation. I suggest that you look for a solution from either a large office suppliers or try the likes of a music shop ( like Xmusic or Music Maker or Thomann.de online for a small PA with the likes of radio microphones.

    Oh okay. From what I gather the two big issues are gain and volume (too much of the former, not enough of the latter). I already have a 2.4G Wireless Microphone but I can't work out if I'd need an amplifier with this. The receiver for the wireless microhone has a microphone jack (which I suppose makes sense), but would I be able to get away with an active, portable, PA speaker, you think?

    If you had an active pa speaker, then you would plug the radio receiver into the input of the speaker. Then the mic would connect wireless,y to the receiver, and the signal would input to the speaker. If you are not familiar with this stuff then I’d recommend you bring your mic/receiver to one of the kind of shops I mentioned and someone there will make sure it works together for you.
