I figured this would be the best place to start this topic. My church needs to replace some wireless microphones, so I got volunteered to do some research and look at some options. Right now they have the lapel type mics with the little transmitters that clip on to your belt. I think we need to replace both the mics and the transmitters. they would like to move to some type of over the ear type microphone. If anyone has some experience with this, I would appreciate some feedback.

My #1 choice is Audio-Technica. Great microphones, receivers, and transmitters. The ATW 2000 series is a good deal. https://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wls_systems/6bc6d93a774d761d/index.html Shure also has a whole line of wireless mics that are good. Keep in mind a lot of older the stuff out there is still in the 700 MHZ band which is no longer usable for wireless mics.

I am trying to find something a bit less costly. Can you guys tell me what is the difference when they say certain setups are same, but one is an N1 frequency, one is N2, N3, etc...

What manufacturer is this?
What they most likely mean is that is a group of frequencies. They have to sell a variety of bands because of what other equipment is in use in any particular area. On the mic you would set 1 through 10. Those correspond to a frequency. On higher end mics (A-T 3000 series for example) you can actually pinpoint a frequency within the entire range, eg use a lot more mics in one building.

The lapel mics are generally compatible with transmitters from the same manufacturer, or they can probably be rewired for other systems.
If they are high quality mics, and are in good condition, it may be worth it to rewire them.
The main thing driving wireless mic replacement at this point is the frequency reallocation, which took effect in June. If you have wireless equipment operating in the 700Mhz range (starting at 696Mhz), they are no longer legal to operate in the US.
Some manufacturers may still have trade-in programs in effect, but if they do, time may be quickly running out.
There are a number of good systems out there from Shure, AKG, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, Telex, Vega, Sony, and Lectrosonics.
Figure out what you want, and shop around for the best prices. Full Compass, and B&H are both good sources.
