[QUOTE="Jim King, post: 203707, member: 156"] I'd start using speakers from the back of the room instead of the front. That way you can get significantly more gain before feedback. then you can mic the groom and officiant with LAVs, and pick up the whole area. As a musician, it really bothered me at first to be having the sound come from a different direction than the people producing the sound. I really want the speakers to flank the stage. But a couple of my crew started doing the back of the room thing, and I found the customers really really like it. The back row hears better. The front row doesn't need it anyway. And there's no longer any speakers in the photos. And it doesn't bother me nearly as much as I though it would. Plus -- it really solves the gain before feedback thing with LAVs when I can't convince the officiant to use a handheld and hold it up to people when they speak. [/QUOTE]
