[QUOTE="mackerr, post: 17981, member: 307"] Re: Micing a play The traditional way to do this is with ''foot mics'' which are directional mics, placed on or very near the floor. Usually 3 or 4 across the front of the stage will cover the main acting ares, but placement should bear in mind where the acting areas are. They still have to be mixed, just like RF mics on actors, they are not ''set and forget''. Most of the hollow sound is comb filtering due to pickup by multiple mics, and floor bounce. To eliminate the floor bounce the mics should be parallel to the floor, as close as you can get them without actually touching. To eliminate the multiple mic problem, you mix with your fingers. In the old days a foot mic was usually an AKG 451 in an EV411 ''mic mouse'', but then along came the Crown PCC160 and put an end to that.
