I am being asked to do more and more group presentations for a community group I belong to. Generally the audience is 200 people, but I've been asked to speak to a group of 800 in May.
My issue is that I really prefer to have my presentations be interactive. I generally have no problem projecting my voice, but I have had situations where *I* can't make out an audience member, much less the rest of the crowd being able to hear. So I'm looking to purchase a wireless microphone system. Most of the one I have seen are headset mics which obviously doesn't work since I will need to pass the mic around through the audience.
However, I know nothing.... or less than nothing... about sound equipment. I don't know even where to go looking for wireless microphones. There do appear to be one on Best Buy's site,

But it is sold out and is of a brand I've never heard of. Anyone have any recommendations on what to look for? BTW - $300 would be the top end of what I'd be looking to pay; these presentations are on a volunteer basis so I'm not looking to break the bank.
