If you are willing to sacrifice some looks I'd personally go with the Sennheiser ME4 Supercardiod headsets. The sound quality is superb and you can by the Gen3 receiver kit with them. (ew152g3)...or if you can afford it go up to the ew300 series receivers. While I do love countryman (note I dont...

Alright, I thought I'd let you all know that I went with 6 shotguns for the show. We go up in a week and a half. I'm having beautiful results! Thanks for the suggestions!

I'll PFL a mic before an actor comes on just to double check it, and occasionally that happens during a mic switch. I've gotten someone singing Brittney Spears (because I called the large obnoxious headset mics a Birttney Mic) and I've also gotten "Hmm this is gonna sound weird if Anthony(me) is...

Oh I was unclear with that, I can get 4+ shotguns if i go with those in the link I posted. The floor mics are the ones that i cant get more than two of if I am buying stuff.Since the show is set up on stage extensions the space is considerably smaller and everyone is confined to a space of...

Thanks for the tips!If I can get the floor mics and maybe two shotguns I think i can make this happen. Money is my only issue now. I have to make a case as to why the investment in this should be made.The Bartlett mics are 200 a pop, so I dont think I can get more than two...:(I did...

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...

Okay, right now I'm faced with a challenge. Basically I'm SD for my schools production of Metamorphoses. If anyone is familiar with the show you will know that it involves a pool on stage.The actors are supposedly getting submerged in the water, making body mics useless. Unfortunately the PAC...

The Rolland 400 is around $9000, I just got one for my school's PAC. Essentially its a Yamaha LS9 with a digital snake. For the price, its hard to beat, being that it has the snake built in and comes with the Front of House break out boxes.And yes i agree with everyone else, its not an M7, but...

ive never used soundcraft...but i can recoment yamaha, mackie, and rollands. It all depends on what you need. Yamaha's MS32\14 is an excellant basic board and the LS9 series are among the best of the digital boards on the market(along with their M7CL and PM5D). Mackie has some easy to use cheap...

This is somewhat funny, my school is getting a bunch of upgrades as well, and they had me obtain the price quotes and what not for stuff. We are also upgrading from an Express (though ours is kinda broken) I initially went for the Palette VL64 due to working with it at a demo at Murphy Lighting...

I've been looking into this myself.I've found the University of Central Florida to offer a great program. They have BFA and MFA programs for Theater Design and Technology and offer a very large variety of classes. If you looked at Ball State (that Teber posted) they are very similar, but Ball...

In my experience, the SD is always deals with music for straight plays. It varies though, depending on the play that might not be anything more than pre-show and post-show music. A Shakespeare play with multiple and more intensive scene changes require you to deal more with music while something...

Hey there, I'm a theater tech over in Orlando, FL. Right now I'm head of tech for my high school (which has no TD) and I'm training under professional sound and light techs that work with a church that rents out our PAC. My main field is sound, but I know my way around most other stuff too. I've...
