Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: buying mics for community theater

Message

   In all of my experience I have found the PCC 160's to be the best choice for most (but not all) applications.  I find they generally get better gain before feedback than the shures.  Whatever mics you decide to buy be sure to use them in odd numbers (assuming you are intending to use them along the edge of the apron).  This way you have a mic center stage where most of the action takes place.

	Exactly how we plan to use them...on the apron, 3 evenly spaced. Together with the overheads, we feel it will significantly help. We do not want patrons to hear the sound from speakers, but to only enhance the acoustics. We have been fortunate to have a professional sound tech (worked in the White House...if he can make presidents sound good, he must really know what he is doing) move into town and he really wants to help us with our sound system design, installation and operation.
