Shure SM31 vs PGA31: Which Microphone Is Best for Fitness Instructors?
Compare Shure SM31 vs PGA31 wireless headset mics for fitness instructors. Learn which microphone works best for indoor cycle, HIIT, yoga, and group fitness classes.
Fitness facilities using a microphone for more than 3 classes per day should make the initial investment in multiple headset microphones and transmitters. Alternating transmitters and headset mics between classes will allow the system to reach the expected lifespan for equipment used in a sweaty and intense environment.
Check the sweat-rating icon to make sure you are within the usage limitations. Some heavy class loads will require a third or even fourth set to be alternated. Let us know if you have any questions about recommendations for your specific class requirements.
AV Now's experience dealing exclusively with the fitness and aerobics instruction industry has given us a lot of useful data on how much sweat exposure the different head-worn microphones can be expected to handle. Most of these systems are not designed for team-teaching, as that requires multiple receivers on different frequencies. Looking for something different? Request a quote here or schedule a call here.
