The Audio Array AM-W14 is a dual-channel UHF wireless microphone system with two handheld metal microphones and a mains-powered receiver that plugs into a PA system, mixer, amplifier or party speaker. It is meant for karaoke, wedding and event hosting, church and community halls, and DJs who need two cordless vocal mics. The short verdict: it covers the basics for two singers or speakers, with two XLR outputs, a 1/4-inch mix output and 15 selectable frequencies per channel, but battery life is modest and some listing specs do not match the brand’s own page.
This article is based on Audio Array’s official product page and the Amazon.in listing data captured on 17 October 2026. We have not tested the AM-W14 hands-on and could not find an independent review of it, so treat performance claims as the brand’s or seller’s claims.
The affiliate link below points to the listing titled “Audio Array AM-W14 UHF Dual Wireless Premium Metal Microphone” in Black, a kit with two microphones and one receiver. Audio Array sells several similar-looking UHF systems, so check the model number on the listing before ordering.
Quick verdict
- Best for: home karaoke with a party speaker or amplifier that has a mic input, small events, weddings, school functions and places of worship that need two cordless vocal mics
- Skip if: you want to record video on a phone or camera, need more than about 6 hours of continuous use without fresh batteries, or need a system with documented Indian regulatory details
- Key strengths: two metal dynamic handheld mics, separate volume control for each, two XLR outputs plus a 1/4-inch mix output, LCD display, 15 adjustable frequencies per channel and a quoted 60m range
- Key limitations: 6-hour operating time on the official page, batteries not included, frequency response listed differently on the listing and the brand’s page, and no warranty terms stated on either

How a UHF wireless mic system works
Each handheld microphone contains a transmitter powered by batteries. The receiver, which runs from mains power, picks up both signals and sends them to your sound system through cables. Because the mics are wireless, singers and hosts can move around the stage or room, and nobody trips over cables during a wedding sangeet or a church service.
UHF systems like the AM-W14 work in a radio band below the crowded 2.4GHz band used by Wi-Fi and many small clip-on mics. Audio Array’s page lists the AM-W14’s band as 902MHz to 928MHz, and both the page and listing say each channel offers 15 adjustable frequencies. That choice matters at events: if one frequency picks up hiss, clicks or another system’s signal, you can move that channel to a cleaner one.
Connecting to a PA, mixer, amplifier or party speaker
The receiver offers two XLR outputs, one per microphone, and a 1/4-inch (6.35mm) mix output that combines both mics into one cable. Which one you use depends on your sound system.
- Mixer with two free XLR inputs: use both XLR outputs so each mic gets its own channel, EQ and volume on the mixer. This is the cleanest setup for events.
- Party speaker, karaoke machine or amplifier with a single mic input: use the 1/4-inch mix output with the included 6.35mm cable, and balance the two mics using their individual volume controls.
- Powered speakers with only line inputs: start with all volumes low, because a mic-level or line-level mismatch can be very quiet or very loud. Check your speaker’s manual for which input type it expects.
- Phone or camera recording: this system is not designed for it. The listing names speakers as the compatible device, so look at a clip-on wireless kit for video.
Microphone design: dynamic, cardioid and metal-bodied
Audio Array describes the handhelds as metal dynamic microphones with a cardioid pattern, and the listing mentions a 14mm diaphragm. Dynamic capsules are the usual choice for live vocals because they handle loud singing well and do not need extra power for the capsule itself. A cardioid pattern picks up mainly from the front and rejects sound from the rear, which helps reduce feedback when the mic is held close to the mouth and the speakers are placed in front of the performers.
The kit also includes mic covers, which the listing says reduce breath and wind noise, and anti-roll rings, which stop a mic rolling off a table and protect it from knocks. Both are useful at parties where mics are passed around and set down often.
Range and real-world placement
Both the official page and the listing quote a range of up to 60m (200ft), and the listing credits a dipole antenna design. That is plenty for most halls and lawns. In practice, range is best with a clear line of sight between the mic and the receiver. Crowds, walls and metal structures can shorten it.
- Place the receiver where it can “see” the stage, raised above head height if possible.
- Keep the receiver away from Wi-Fi routers, LED lighting controllers and other wireless systems.
- Do a walk test before guests arrive, speaking from the farthest point you expect to use.
- If you hear dropouts or noise, change the frequency on that channel and test again.
Battery life and power planning
Audio Array’s page quotes an operating time of 6 hours. The listing says the microphones use AA batteries, which are not included, and mentions 2 x AA. Confirm on the listing or in the manual how many cells each microphone needs. Six hours covers most karaoke nights or functions, but a full wedding day or back-to-back services will need fresh batteries or rechargeable AA cells and a charger.
- Start every event with fresh or fully charged batteries in both mics.
- Carry a spare set and swap during a break rather than waiting for a warning.
- Remove batteries if the mics will be stored for weeks, to avoid leakage damage.
- The receiver runs from its power adapter, so plan for a nearby power socket.
Avoiding feedback and getting clean vocals
Feedback, the loud squeal you hear at events, happens when a microphone picks up its own sound from the speakers. No microphone prevents it entirely, so setup matters more than specs.
- Keep the speakers in front of the singers, never behind or directly beside them.
- Sing close to the mic. A cardioid dynamic mic works best within a few centimetres of the mouth.
- Raise volume gradually and stop just below the point where ringing starts.
- Use the separate volume controls to balance a loud singer against a soft one.
Where the listing and the official page differ
- Frequency response: the official page and listing bullets say 50Hz to 15kHz, while the listing’s technical details say 20Hz to 20kHz.
- True diversity: the listing’s special features mention it, but Audio Array’s official page does not state it and mentions only a dipole antenna design.
- Warranty: neither the listing nor the official page states warranty terms. The brand’s site has a warranty registration page, and its product page mentions easy replacement.
Who should buy it, and who should skip it
Buy it if you run home karaoke on a speaker or amplifier with a 1/4-inch mic input, host small functions, or need two cordless vocal mics for a church, school or community hall. The XLR outputs also make it easy to connect to a mixer.
Skip it if you want to record videos on a phone or camera, need very long battery life, or need written warranty and regulatory details before buying for an organisation. In those cases, ask the seller for documentation first or look at another model.

What to check before you order
- Model and variant: confirm AM-W14, dual (two mics), Black, on the listing.
- Your speaker’s inputs: check whether it has XLR inputs, a 1/4-inch mic input, or only line inputs.
- Batteries: buy AA cells or rechargeables separately, as none are included.
- Box contents: confirm the power adapter, 6.35mm cable, mic covers and anti-roll rings are listed.
- Warranty and support: ask the seller about warranty terms, register the product on Audio Array’s warranty page, and keep the invoice. The listing names Cambium Retail Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, as the manufacturer contact.
- Regulatory use: if you are buying for a business or institution, ask the seller to confirm the system is approved for use in India.

Frequently asked questions
Can I connect the AM-W14 to a party speaker?
Yes, if the speaker has a microphone input. Use the 1/4-inch mix output and the included 6.35mm cable. The two XLR outputs suit mixers and PA systems.
Does it come with batteries?
No. The official page says batteries are not included, and the listing says the mics use AA batteries. Confirm the exact number in the manual.
How long do the batteries last?
Audio Array quotes an operating time of 6 hours. Carry spares for longer events.
Can I use it to record YouTube videos?
It is built for live sound through speakers and mixers, not for phones or cameras. A clip-on wireless kit with a phone or camera receiver is a better fit for video.
Bottom line
The Audio Array AM-W14 is a practical two-mic UHF system for karaoke, functions and small venues, with flexible outputs, separate volume controls and selectable frequencies. Its limits are a 6-hour operating time, batteries you must buy separately, some inconsistent listing specs and no published warranty terms, so confirm those details with the seller.
