I don't own a wireless lav, but I do have an audio technica wired lav that I like very much. I haven't seen anyone mention Shure yet, apologies if I missed it.
I used to work in media services at a local college, and had occasion to host an audio workshop with a bunch of uber techies from Shure. Evidently if you buy their gear, they have a free service where they'll look up frequencies for you for certain areas. In other words they take into account things like nearby local news stations and stadium-type venues and help you select frequencies to tune your mics to that are least likely to pick up interference. I don't remember what it was called, or how you access it, and this was 5 yrs ago so things may have changed. But I always thought that was pretty cool. Has anyone else heard of anything like this? Is it common and I'm just clueless? Cheryl --- In [email protected], "Richard Amirault" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > $100 each for a good wireless lav?? Ain't no such animal, sorry.
