Long time lurker, first time poster..
I am doing sound for high-school theatre and have been for five years. The acoustics in the auditorium are horrific, so mics are needed for essentially everyone on stage.
It is very hard to get a tech budget at all, let alone one that is suitable for our needs. (after all putting a motorized elevator in the set for one scene is definitely worth it instead of being able to reliably hear the cast...)
Optimally we should be using 12 wireless microphones. We are currently down to 2 fully-working and 8 that work somewhat if we use lots of masking tape to force the UniPak into the transmitter. (we are using all Audio-Technica T310s unfortunately...)
I am wondering if it is possible to repair the termination, since that is the common issue these things have, and some resources on how? That way we don't have to waste otherwise working microphones... These mics would otherwise be going to the garbage so I don't feel bad sacrificing one...
(not sure if "termination" is the right word, I think it is..? I mean this type of connection, but the other end is attached to a microphone. the whole mic works, just when you wobble the termination such as when walking across stage it pops, etc)
