Microphone systems having wireless microphones are often used in events such as discussions, concerts, plays, etc. and normally have a plurality of wireless microphones which are worn by users, such as actors, musicians, singers, etc, and one or more receiving stations which receive the audio signals of the wireless microphones and forward said signals to mixing consoles, amplification systems, recording devices, etc. In addition to the basic functionality of transmitting audio signals, microphone systems have become known which implement additional functions. The invention relates to a microphone module 2 having a transmitting unit 6 wherein the transmitting unit 6 is designed for the wireless transmission of audio information to a base station 3, having a receiving unit 8, wherein the receiving unit 8 is designed to receive wirelessly transmitted status information and/or messages from a transmitter 4, 12 and having an output device 13, 14 for the output of the status information and/or messages to a user of the microphone module 2.
