Doing some preliminary work on a potential show, and looking for alternatives to my usual PCC/hanging mic combination. I don't have too much experience with shotguns, but I'm open to the possibility. I'd have to price out the difference though.
Some background: Show is a musical (can't say what it is yet, as we don't have the gig yet), don't know cast size, but I doubt they have the budget for all to be body mic'ed as we have to carry full PA as well. Orchestra is probably in a pit.
So I pose the question to the community, what is your preferred method for catching an un-mic'ed ensemble? Also, if going with hanging mics, do you typically hang from battens or the grid? As I said, just looking for some options.
