hmm, shotgun mics...i never even considered them. we are running extremely under budget for this show...so I can at least afford to rent those. Is there a suggested model I should go for?

The Bartletts look like a good investment though.

Oh and the band...well there has been a change within the past hour that I was informed of. It is a two piece percussion band and it will be on stage set behind the set thats on the extensions(i feel bad for the lighting people....they loose all but one baten because of that)

I'm aware of the difference in sound quality, and my new director is actually knowledgeable enough to know this too. I once was forced to use only 3 floor mics and 3 hanging mics for a show by a quest director...that mixed with out old half dead Yamaha gf24/12 was just a nightmare. Now on the other hand I have a rolland M-400 so i can EQ a bit better and can throw a gate on the shotgun mics so I wont have to actually monitor them as much.


Thanks for the quick responses guys! You're saving my life here!
