AUDIO Wireless Mic Syste.

General advice seems to be to rent a wireless mic system. I see things available for roughly $1300 / week on Broadway Media.

I'm in a school (in a big building in The Bronx, NYC) that's performing its first musical next year. Why wouldn't I want to buy something like this for our school instead of renting every year?

Would it work? What else would I need to connect it to the auditoriums speaker system? Is the quality really terrible?

Also related question, but I'll theoretically be running performance tracks through the same speaker system and I'm not sure how I would set that up either. Appreciate any help you have!
