is this good for public speaking?

The range for moving around a small venue is god but I'm not sure about large venues...from a podium is good but show up early to preset the volumes

No, it is not good for anything. It sounds like a CB radio only with major dropouts in voice. Buy a UHF system from a reputable brand such as Shure, Sennheiser , or Audio Technica. Avoid Pyle, Technical Pro, and any other respected brand. You can not get a decent system for less than $100.

It would be suitable. It does have a tendency to feedback though so you would have to make sure the speaker is pointed away from the mic.

Yes but care must be taken not to place on hard surface where everytime your neighbor drops a pencil it's like the fall of a giant redwood-- positioning and aiming the mics will be important. If you are too far from the lecturer to get his / her voice loud and clear, pick an unobtrusive place within a few feet of the lectern... no reason you can't give your recorder a better seat than you. Of course you may have to get creative if you don't want the recorder to be seen. Tape your lecturer at slow speed and play it back fast and you'll finish listening in half the time the recording took. (For conference taping when you and others sit with speaker around a big table, there is a special kind of mic you buy). But for a typical college lecture in a large lecture hall just get the recorder close enough, suitably camouflaged as needed. You need to be a bit of a techie to understand all the features, but you won't need all the features. Good luck!

The sound amplification is good considering the size of the speaker but I doubt it will be loud enough for what you are planning on using it for. A bose speaker might be better suited

I doubt it would perform well. This is an omni-directional microphone. A directional mike would be better for voice recognition.

I use it for webinars and recordings so I believe it should work for a group meeting.

I use mine for personal monitor during live performance. It can do anything. It is a good speaker and very strong output. It can take a lot of power. Yes, I think they would be good for karaoke and are easy to carry.

Hello,This should be OK for a speech, but when you say "stage performance", if you mean singing, I wouldn't recommend it. This is an entry-level lavaliere mic, best used to record spoken word.

You can but I wouldn't suggest it. It's got a ridiculous amount of feedback and will blow out. Spend a bit more and get a behringer pa speaker

We use that mic at the church. People have said they hear speakers better and our recital people have used them with success. It was the best money spent so far.

Its a pretty good speaker. Although, this is more a "Let's go party outside!" type of speaker. If you want good audio quality, go for something designed for acoustics not durability.

Unless you're going to be using the audio in a broadcast or film or something, I think this is overkill. Also, what Alan Ganger said, but even so -- there's no equipment so amazing that you don't need some kind of mic or amp or something if you're far from the speaker. The bottom line is that if you're recording only for your own uses (like, to record lectures or conversations for your own review later), you can get the same functionality (but at a bit lower sound quality) for less money.

Yes it is. i use it for presentations and short clips at work all the time.

I would say it depends on what you expect to do with them, if it was to mic up a presenter, I would say yes. Background music likely ok, To deliver DJ music, or loud live performance I would say no. I have used them out in the open for weddings and they work just fine for a quite environment to carry spoken word.I have four of them and four of PV118 and that is what I use for rooms that large, I run the subs with a pair of crown xls800 and the tops with a pair of xls600.

Yes. I have taken phone calls while wearing this. I would not recommend wearing it during a formal presentation, but for basic speaking it can be done.

I'm not sure I would be comfortable making business calls with this device.. It seemed kind of raspy when I was using it. The speaker would definitely be loud, however; the quality wasn't that I would use for an important business call. I used it on the beach, and near the pool.. Fit it's purpose, but not for much else. Hope this helps!

I think so. Because the mic is clearly and the head phone is good also. Just when you use it other people will probably heard what are you listening.
