Re: Lavalier Mic comparisonHave you considered renting until your budget is larger? Perhaps the thing to do is buy only what you can afford (of the good stuff) and supplement that with renting. then over a few years you'll have quality gear.And as a heads up, unless you have a great deal of discipline/authority coming from a respected audio operator, you can expect wireless gear to get torn up pretty quickly in theater. And that's from my professional theater experience, let alone the damage that high school kids could do.The BLX could work for you. Mic placement is ULTRA important in your scenario (the room). Consider adding on Samson's $200 ear set mics would be light years ahead of lavalieres aka lapels.
