Re: Rf guru help neededthanks guys....the length of my snake doesnt bother me. the main snake head sits dead center stage. all stage inputs for the band are loomed to fit with the snake in this location. yeah i know the crowd can sometimes soak up RF...but i never thought it would be an issue like this. i am going to have to buy some 8 pair snake to move the mics no matter what...so another 50ft of snake for the ears is nothing. i keep my paddles usually 10-12ft apart at all times...and about 8ft in the air...above as many heads as possible. i know you are not supposed to point paddles at eachother...if i put mics on one side and ears on the other...even though the mics dont have paddles...would there still be issues because the paddles are firing at them? (note...i guess this is the same as it is now...just not 100ft between them) the other idea is going back to what i used to do....and thats put the paddles on stage....20 ft apart...firing at the back of the talent. the only issue is...the paddles would have to be low to stay out of sight from the crowd...and would have to shoot through 2 band members to hit the talent. i guess 2 is better than 800 right? this would still have the mic receivers placed offstage right where they can easily be monitored by a local tech. (if i gotta pay someone to sit there...might as well have them watch some flashing lights)
