I am currently sound designing and operating a show for a community theater. We run a portable sound set up, with minimal microphones due to limited resources. Specifically, the set up is 6 Shure SLX reciever/transmitters and two Shure PGX systems. In past shows, some that I have designed and some others have designed, microphone issues are a constant issue. The most common issue is cutting in and out. What should I be doing beforehand to try to avoid these issues?
I have done a large amount of research and attended several classes on wireless microphones, all in hopes of educating myself enough to fix the issue. However, most place I look and people I have talked to suggest extra stuff, whether it be a antenna distribution system or something else in order to help our issues. Due to the limited resources often found in community theater, a distribution system or a different type of mic is just not feasible for us. What sort of actions can I be taking right now, during pre-show set up, as well as during run of show, that will help me avoid problems?
Thanks for all suggestions!
