Feedback

• To accomodate the large number of speakers, without a rollin to swap mics, we hung a shotgun about 7 feet off the floor, about 2 feet in front of the lectern. We also rigged a PZM mic on the lectern and Steve then mixed the two. We also had a Shure Beta on a boom near the back of the audience. This worked reasonably well, though you can tell the audio is not as dry as it normally is, with lavs on everyone. An improvement to this might be to angle the shotgun so that it does not point directly at the floor, which probably adds a bit of echo as it's pointed directly at the floor. Maybe by mounting it downstage, pointing toward the back of the room, echos from the perpendicular hard floor would be lessened. Individual lavs of course would be preferred but we just didn't want to do all those swaps.
