Hobby group looking for way to talk to each other without yelling across the room. Will this system work that way?

No. The system is designed to be plugged into an amplifier and broadcasts through external speakers (microphone)

Not at all. It is the wrost piece of crap you will ever purchase. I will have a VERY loud buzzing nosie that will overshadow your conversation with the other person on the line.

The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate. The microphone would not work well at that distance, I ended up using a MXL AC-404 (from Amazon) and it works flawlessly. I also route the sound out of this to portable speaker system if the crowd is more than 10-15 people, otherwise the built in speaker is fine. Our tech club has used this to webcast large meetings (40-60 people) in a large multi-purpose room (2000sf) and using the other microphone and the speaker output, it makes for a very professional presentation. In a much smaller venue, the device itself would be sufficient. The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate.

Yes, this is exactly how we use this. You push the talk button and can speak into the room where the other unit is placed. One challenge- if your kids have headphones on, they may not hear you. There is also a cAll button that is a ringer to help get there attention before you speak. Great device!

This unit would be OK for a group of up to about 30 people from a range of 20 to 30 feet away from the speaker. The unit I received had a microphone that was fairly insensitive and I had to speak very loud to get full output from the speaker.

This unit only allows you to talk to one other person at a time. The SMH10D units allow you to carry on group conversations. There may be other differences as well, but this was the one I noted. I have the SMH5D units and have been very happy with them.

The audio is 'ok' at best. If the room is small and there is only one or two people talking it is fine. If you have a larger room or lots of speakers, I would recommend a dedicated mic. We used a Crown PZM-11 mic with excellent results.

The unit that we purchased is being used in a large fellowship hall for a Line Dancing group. You can hear the dance commands over the music BUT we are using the head type mic and we get some static/noise through the speaker. Not all the time but sometimes more than other times. That said, maybe the hand held mic works better but that doesn't fit the need to have our hands free. It is not a professional type system but I am rather surprised at the power of the voice output for this small unit.

Yes, it can actually handle 5 mics and has 'phantom power' built in that allows you to use condenser mics. It should work well for your group discussion.

3 people can use at the same time,but only one can talk at the same time,the other 2 should listen.It is a good gift for child.We used it to coordinate three cars,when we traveling out.

As stated the unit is NOT wireless and you'd have to remain so close to the person you wish to talk to that you might as well lean over and say it directly to them. It doesn't stay in the ear very well at all. Two paper cups and string would work better.

I have a very similar setup. The center channel adds a bit of clarity to dialog, I think its definitely worthwhile for the price. Might not make much difference in a large room.

Yes indeed. All you need to do, is plug in the opitcal cable from the receiver to the console. And yes, you will also need to use the chat cable if you want to chat, haha. But you actually don't need it if you're not talking. I have found that the audio is also quite a bit better too!

Its really not that loud. It makes some noise yes but i doubt they would hear it in the other room. You could also try turning the force feedback down to reduce the noise.

Yes, you can communicate with as many in your party as you like by simply choosing the same channel on all radios. You can also divide your party into different groups with each group sharing a different channel (such as for games like paint ball, hide-and-seek, etc.). Everyone on the same channel can hear and talk to everyone else on that channel. For example: If you talk on channel 1, everyone on channel 1 will be able to hear you simultaneously and vice versa.

I am sure it will work. I've used mine to talk to my kids from inside my house to one of their friends houses 1/2 a mile away.

yes, you can do it, they are equiped with vox control and for intercom, you just need to talk
