Hi, maybe you can help me with some tech suggestions. At my local scouts troop I’m one of only a few guitar players. At camp fires I play the guitar and provide lead vocals, so that others can follow (which is important especially for songs, that are not well known). Because only a few can sit directly beside me and others might talk in parallel, I need to sing very loud, to give an orientation, which makes me hoarse way faster.

I would like to have something, that amplifies my voice, with decent quality (so no megaphone), a microphone fixed to my clothes or my head (as I need to play the guitar in parallel) and being portable (easy to carry, relatively small and powered via battery). I am able to spend like 200€ for it (300€ would be the hard upper limit). I can also build something myself, though I would need orientation on what to build exactly. I don’t have experience with audio electronics, but with microcontrollers.

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thats an interesting idea. Might really try this. Though I’m not sure about the sound quality for singing in contrast to just speaking (that being the core purpose of these systems)

      Bluetooth has latency; it’s not suitable for realtime mic usage. The delay will make it difficult to sing/speak.
