AV Humor





Matt: k, since you guys are audio guys and you've done audio for conferences and speakers and such, do you all have any recommendations for a long, gooseneck podium microphone? The meditation center I go has forever used a traditional microphone, either on a stand or connected to this giant luxo-style-extend-o-thingy as seen here: http://www.meditateinla.org/center/los-angeles-meditation-teacher/ If you have any suggestions or things that I should look for/be aware of (power?) that would be great.  Hope everybody's doing all right!

Scott: Shure MX412 or MX418

Steve: What senator T says is what u want!

Mateo: The MX412 is good but I hate gooseneck microphones with a passion. They sound bad, they can't handle lows and aren't durable. I would stick with a SM58 on a gooseneck arm.

Scott: An SM58 on a gooseneck looks terrible.

Mateo: No it doesn't. Aren't microphones about sound, not looks? What are you, a client? BURN!

Scott: In hospitality AV it's all about looks. That's why I shave my scrotum every morning. Gotta get my tips!

Mateo: Well Matt has to decide if he wants a nice looking scrotum or nice sounding scrotum. Hope we helped Matt!

Matt: shave s-c-r-o-t-u-m. check! i don't think the sound quality will be too problematic for what we use it for, it's a small room that can only seat 100 people tops, it's just to give the teacher a little boost since meditation teachings are fairly soft-spoken. thanks for the recommendations!
