I'm curious whether anyone here has experience using Shure's Microflex system for body mics on actors in plays/musicals. It seems like it may be tuned more specifically to speech, so maybe the latter would suffer a little?
The reason I'm asking is that I have an opportunity to repurpose a system of 12 channels that was previously used for a meeting room setup. It currently has all MXW8 tabletop transmitters, but the bodypacks are readily available used. Getting 12 channels of (hopefully decent quality?) wireless for $1-2k in parts is pretty appealing, but I don't want to make that investment if the results are going to be disappointing. For reference, though, this would either be replacing/supplementing a set of twelve SLX in one school or eight BLX in another, so the bar isn't exactly high...
