The auditorium that I manage will be going through a renovation soon, and I have been asked to come up with a microphone and equipment wish list...here is where I am looking for some advice. I am not intimately familiar with microphones (various uses, types, etc), what are regularly used here are SM58's for most wired stage applications (I use these for everything from meetings to setting up in front of pit to record a choir/band/orchestra concert) I occasionally use the 2 SM57 mics..but not too often. Then I have a SHURE wireless mic system with ULXP4 that we borrow/loan/rent to use for body mics in musicals.
What I would like to do, along with equipping the space with things like DI boxes and doing what I can to bring us into the future (through adding digital devices) is to supply us with recording mics, better hanging mics for the choir performances, area mics, instrument mics, and possible digital usb mics (not sure what kind of board they are getting). Apart from this, I am not sure what else I should be looking for, other than some more sound cable, adapters, or editing software.
Can anyone suggest anything that I may want to look into, certain microphones for my specific applications, or to another thread where I could find some info, I would greatly appreciate it...little disclosure..I am actor turned technician.
Thanks again.
