Thank you for the help! The man who runs the technical programs at my High School had found a design for a
parabolic mike setup that he seemed to think would work for what I need to improve sound quality for my club. Unfortunately, he didn't write down the website; so, he couldn't tell me where to look, and he could not help me re-discover the site! I would like to
build some directional microphones to
cover areas on my club's
stage. These could be hung (possibly) from our
catwalk. I don't need to buy or
build the most advanced
system (it would mean probably too much $$$); so, what sort of
microphone would be best to get directional sound? Currently, my club uses primarily body and floor mics. We do have a few awful choral mics, but they contribute very little to the overall sound. For most shows we do not have enough body mics for all the major characters; so, we end up switching mics francticallly during scene changes. I believe that a directional mic setup from our
catwalk could help with this problem. Thanks again!
