Wireless mic

[dazie]

I'm trying to figure out what's up with the wireless microphone setup at work.  It's a clip on style, with a belt hook for the receiver pack.

Every time I turn it on, I get horrible feedback, I think it has to do with the antenna.  I fiddled with the main box and got most of the feedback out, but when I test it by wandering around in the auditorium, I hit patches where it's still bad.  If I turn down the volume on the main box to get rid of the feedback, the mic doesn't put out enough oomph to be heard.

My question is this- if I adjust the mic gain, will that help?

[Beefy]

Not necessarily.

First of all, try changing out batteries.

Then, test the antenna on your belt unit.  Does jostling it cause more problems?  Does it get jostled when you move? 

Then try scrutinizing the receiver end antenna.  Is it secure?

If none of that works, check the manual for materials or substances that causes the mic intereference.

What Beefy said.

I took it apart and dinked some with the antenna, plus I adjusted the mic gain.  WOO!  It works now.

You're so cute when you talk A/V.

HEY!  What about me??  I talked AV today before HE did.

it's still a good idea to change the batteries out every time you're going to use a cordless mic, as they are extraodinarily temperamental things, or at least the ones that most companies own are. probably the one that britney spears uses is .... sturdier.

You're cute too... but awfully taken.

So- if I get rid of Ursus I stand a chance with you?  wooo!

And remember kids, the best wireless mic in the world is almost as good as the same mic element over a wire.  Almost.

Everyone wants a wireless mic, whether they need it or not.

Which brings me to the subject of people wanting a microphone when they don't need one for the space they're in......

Sorry, I'll stop.

[ReBurn]

I don't want a wireless mic.  Does that make me weird?

AT my job that would make you smart.  The regular mic is very good, the wireless, not so much.  It's just that there's a few grad asses who prefer to wander around while yappin.

I don't even want a wired microphone.  I win!

[eo000]

I don't even want a wired microphone.  I win!

have you even thought of the possibilities?

[Gamplayerx]

You're right!  I'm being way too hasty.  With a microphone, I could rule the world!  I'd stamp out evil, bring joy to the masses, right wrongs, stop pantyhose from running, and deliver instant gratification to all!

And then make alice listen to it so she can imagine what their vaginas look like.  I hear she enjoys that.

This happens far more often than it should.

Yet there is surprisingly very little audio to be heard of it.

Did Gamp ever get her microphone?

Why is it that the best recording studios on the planet never use wireless... because they don't need to. Remember when thinking about wireless use the same argument that they against Dr. Mengele and the Manhattan Project: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...
