[QUOTE="Karl Winkler, post: 23154, member: 255"] Re: Headset mics for theater Something in-between an old-school "headset" mic and an omni lav is something like the "earset" mics out there by a few manufacturers. The Countryman E6 was maybe the first out there. Now, [URL="http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/705e45843f000934/index.html"]AT[/URL], [URL="http://www.lectrosonics.com/images/TD-sheets/HM172_TD.pdf"]Lectrosonics[/URL] and several others also have mics like this. The advantage is better gain before feedback vs. a lav mic placed somewhere further from the mouth. They are almost as invisible, but not quite. They are much lighter and less of a nuisance than the more standard "headworn" mics. The ultimate, IMO, though is the [URL="http://www.dpamicrophones.com/en/products.aspx?c=item&category=116&item=24062"]DPA 4088[/URL] headset. It is more secure on the head, and offers a lot of options for adjustment. With a directional element, the GBF is about as good as you can get.
