Hello everyone long time lurker, needing help on wireless sound. Said almost the same in the New Member Board, but this is the right place to post.
I'm being tasked to come up with a mobile solution for sound. Min requirements 7 wireless singers, 2 of which will also be dancing (musical theatre).
I also need to have up to a trio of vocalists - more legit singing only... but have 2 SM58s that I will likely use. (and buy 1 more SM58 - and deal with cables for the vocalists)
Mobile comes in play in the following way:
We will be renting venues, as well as going outdoor events. Budget is around $10,000 for purchase, hopefully to keep per event rental costs to less than $1k... preference is to buy instead of renting all the time.
And yes, I have looked at the zillions of discussions about wireless - but they all seem rather old... at this point - I assume either Sennheiser or Shure... I assume freq A or A1. I sort of like the specs on the MKE2 - but I'm reading the Countryman B3's hold up to amateurs better.
In that mode, I'm dealing with a incubator - all in one school to teach acting, dancing, and either private or group singing. No live musical instruments at this time - may add in the future. As Actors, Dancers, Singers - get better we create opportunities that allow them to perform, get their feet wet so to speak... so 100% students, amateurs, etc...
I have 4 gigs coming up... 1st is a 600 seat theatre with a lighting and sound system from the 1960s... sigh... planning on just setting up - or maybe flying a pair of Yamaha DVR15s for the mains or just putting them on stage on a pair of TS90B's... I have 2 - SM58s for the vocalists plan on buying 1 more... Next gig will be in a street faire about all I'll have is a 20amp power circuit... after that at a art/wine festival (again probably 1 - 15 or 20 amp power plug)... after that a 4th of july parade - no idea might be on a float, might get a booth.
ANYWAY... for the wireless sound... I'm completely lost in possibilities. 7 wireless lavs or body mics... dealing with random available frequencies on each new venue/park/faire/etc... and mounted on amateurs.
Thoughts?
