I am currently investigating an alternate approach for a wireless microphone feed for a gaming system, using independent VHF-FM wireless microphone sets from Nady Systems and running 6.5mm-to-3.5mm connection cables from the receivers to a standard Sony Computer Entertainment dual-3.5mm-to-USB interface for SingStar. Initial tests are to be done on an eMachines/Acer EL1210-09, with subsequent rounds on a Wii by Nintendo and a Sony PlayStation 2 pending. From experience with a Nady DKW-3 on the EL1210-09, I have reason to estimate that the analog wireless will work as consistently as the Sony dynamic microphones normally packaged in the SingStar input kit.
(Logitech, Inc., uses a 2.4 GHz digital link in the Advantage Wireless Microphone System for PlayStation and XBOX (which also works with the more popular K-games on Wii). I found latency problems with such an approach from tests with a Motorola S705, IOGear GBU321 (Broadcomm ASIC), and the aforementioned EL1210-09 running Microsoft Windows 6.0.6002; and therefore reason to suspect the same latency issue from the Advantage Wireless.)
