Both Shure and Sennheiser are pro-grade 24-bit digital wireless — you can't go wrong with either. Pick whichever matches gear you already own, or whichever your sound tech prefers. If you don't have a preference, Shure is the default. Either option is great.

The opening-night kit

MicKit Perform 8 is the first kit in the Perform tier, and the jump from Pro to Perform is not about channel count alone — it’s about the assumption that the kit is going to run ten shows in a row without touching it. Every component is rack-mounted, every antenna is coordinated through a proper distro, and every bodypack arrives paired to its receiver with a printed channel map. This is the kit that shows up to tech week on Monday, runs through a matinee and an evening performance every day for a week, and ships back the following Monday without a single dropout. It’s what a regional theatre rents when the house wireless rig went down on a Thursday. It’s what a conference company rents when the keynote speaker brings seven panelists.

Built for

  • Full school musicals with eight principals (think Into the Woods, Matilda, Newsies ensemble leads)
  • Regional theatre productions and summer stock
  • Keynote events with a host and 7 panelists
  • Large worship teams with full vocal ensemble
  • Corporate all-hands and town halls
  • Live-streamed events and broadcast productions

Brand selector

Shure SLX-D+ or Sennheiser EW-DX at checkout (note: Perform 8 uses the upgraded EW-DX on the Sennheiser side because the receiver density justifies the better RF performance). Same price.
