Re: Theatrical Mic AttachmentI agree that tape-to-cheek isn't aesthetically pleasing, but sometimes it's the only option. I'm consulting right now on a production of RENT in a 1920's wooden "barn" where mics any further back than halfway up the cheek were just too ringy at the levels we were trying to achieve. Of course, as we've already established, for *that* show it doesn't matter if the mics are visible, but it would still be nice to be able to hide them better. Also, frankly, at our level of production tech assistance, I have enough trouble teaching people to tape mics on reliably and consistently even like that, without making it any more complicated or different for each person.
