Great Bang for the Buck

Hello! I purchased 6 of these to use across our stage, and spaced them out about every 6 feet. They really helped HF coverage in the concert hall for a choral performance. They also helped pick up some of the stringed instruments and grand piano. Rolled off at 200Hz, they add the presence needed in the room. For the price point, they can't be beat.

Much Bang for Buck

I had borrowed this style of mic for a previous show and was so impressed by how clearly they pick up the voices on stage that I had to invest in some for my space. The specific application is to reinforce unmiced youth actors in small scale musical theater. I'm sure with a larger band that we will have to go back to body mics but its really great to reinforce the eduction about how to project when we are able.

Need Live Sound? Then, this is the MIC!

Like most churches and venues, live sound is the way we have had to go. Even though we mic'd everything, but we still did not have the live sound we needed. I tried several overhead MICs that are awesome for drums. Yep. They worked. However.....they are not inconspicuous, they all needed a standard mic mount and they are not inexpensive. So, I looked to something that was close to invisible, picked up the worship in the audience without being noticed and most important captured the natural sound of the room without coloring it. This is it.

SETUP: EQ: Rolled off 80 at Hz. Removed about 5 DB at 1K, gentle Q. Increased 3K about 2 DB and rolled off the high end at 12K.

SOUND: Panned left and right. Added a few DB to our Aux mix for the live stream. Just enough to almost not notice, but enough to pick up the beauty of the audience in worship.

INSTALLATION: Used tie wraps mounted to the steel frame of our building.

Many thanks to my Sweetwater Rep, James Wroblewski; I asked some questions and he pointed me in this direction.
