[QUOTE="john lutz, post: 17979, member: 244"] Re: Micing a play This is probably more a Jr. Varsity approach however this mic may be useful to you. I was recently volunteered to do sound for my kids school play. No budget, 5th and 6th graders, in a gym, etc. They were trying to use regular hand held vocal mics from the edge of the stage patched into the announcement pa flown behind them. Yikes! I brought in a pair of speakers on sticks positioned at left and right corners of stage and a pair of MXL shotgun mics ( [url="www.mxlmics.com/products/field_rec/FR-304/FR-304.html"]http://www.mxlmics.com/products/field_rec/FR-304/FR-304.html[/url] ) angled in from front corners toward the center of stage. With a little eq and having the kids aim at the mics as much as possible it worked out pretty well. On average the actors were 3 to 5 feet from the mics. Had I used 3 or 4 instead of the 2 mics available it probably would have been near perfect for what it was. changed one word for clarity [/QUOTE]
