Hey im just wondering if people like to use floor mics rather than shotguns or teasers?
Its my main source of amplification, unfortunately.Jeepfrk97 said:Hey im just wondering if people like to use floor mics rather than shotguns or teasers?
We use little cm-700 on these cute little stands that we screw into the stage floor.Jeepfrk97 said:Hey im just wondering if people like to use floor mics rather than shotguns or teasers?
Yea, my favorite thing is to take some gaff tape, and stick it in little bubbles to the bottom. Ill Stick the edge of the tape, pull it up to make a little loop (or Flap) in the tape, and then stick the other edge on, forming a small air pocket. Being that our stage is fairly decrepid, it gets rid of the floorboards rattling...wemeck said:Are sister school GBN (of Hazing Fame last May) Swear by their Crown 160's as well. I was just talking to GBN's resident TD/Set/Lighting/Sound Designer about them.

The best use for shot gun mics is on a boom or a sound tech in the wings or in the house aiming the mic at the performers.Pocado said:Yea, at my school we have two floor mics that I'm always yelling at the actors not to touch, but they pick up great. The one bad thing is they pick up EVERYTHING. We also have two hanging PZM's, if that's their name. I have a question about shotgun mics...we have two huge a** shot guns and we can't find anyplace to hook set them up so they are perfect for the stage. So, how are they suppose to be used? We tried hanging them from the catwalk but we got major feedback from them picking up the speakers...and we also hooked them up at the base of the pit facing up...that didn't work too well either. Any advice?
