Give the Gift of Excellent Actor Mic’ing this Christmas
Church Production Magazine: If you're reading this article, you probably know full well that microphones can make or break your Christmas production. Wireless mics play a unique role in the audio chain. If they fail, they take down the entire chain with them, and the audience focuses on strange sounds—or no sound—instead of the performance itself.

This article has some good tips and tricks. There’s nothing earth shattering or particularly surprising about any of the points, but the article is a thourough analysis of all the things that should be considered when buying or handling body mics. This is especially useful because body mice are such an important piece of the sound system, and yet they are some of the most delicate and expensive pieces. The care and feeding of these mics should probably be one of the top priorities for many sound departments in small theatres and school theatres, and yet many do not take the time to implement best practices for making them last. I’ve seen body mics tightly coiled so often, especially in small high school theatres that can barely afford them, and I always am confused by that carelessness. Maybe it’s a matter of not having the expertise to know better, but it seems that it should be a priority.
