Hi,

Hi Brigid! Happy you're here.

The headset mic shouldn't be any big deal; you would plug the output from its receiver into one of the inputs on the L1.

The reverb will be an issue though, as the L1 doesn't have an auxiliary send/return with which to send your vocal out to a reverb unit. So, f you want reverb, you will need to supplement your L1 with a little mixer and a little reverb unit.

The good news is, this isn't expensive or complicated. And in fact, I've already written a simple but thorough how-to guide on how to do exactly this:

In your scenario, your L1 will replace the Mackie SRM150 speaker that appears in my how-to guide. And your wireless microphone will replace the regular microphone in Input 2. Simple.

Let us know if it works, and if you have any questions, let me know and I'll help as best I can!
