Audio Equipment: What is a good mixer/microphone/speaker combo under $5k for portable use at presentations with under 100-200 attendees in a hotel meeting room type environment?
-
I'd like 2x wireless lavs or headsets (with interchangeable capsules, ideally), a good board with extra outputs, maybe 1-2x handheld mics for the audience, 2 speakers, and ideally high audio quality and high reliability.

Just price out your ideal system on Amazon or B&H. Then go to eBay and see if you can find it cheaper.

I'd recommend looking into the Bose PAS system. Very compact, easy setup, clear sound and reliable as I've been using mine at least once a week for just under ten years with no issues. They also blend well into stages. They're especially good for speech intelligibility and feedback resistant. You'll probably just need one for the venue you describe.
