Can I hook up a non-condenser mic to a mixer with the phantom power active?
It was pointed out to me that I have not been cutting Sexy Cocktailjurken the connection on the TOA mic module that provides phantom power. I have never done this and never noticed the instructions before. Is this a problem?
We are looking for a single 'table top' omini directional microphone to replace the two currently used on our sister's table. I did not see any in your online catalog. Do you sell any?
Are lapel (clip on) microphones suggested for sister's table?
Hello. I been noticing that microphones cables are been stow away like ropes, is there any advice on the appropriate way of stowing microphone cables?
And, which is the appropriate usage of microphones?
Thanks,
Mikel
What is your sugjestions on how many brothers should work the console/mixer? I was always instructed 2-4. Thanks brothers for your hard work.
What about using Boundary Mics?
Boundary mics are laid on a flat surface and use the surface to collect sound to the diaphragm of the microphone. It sounds great to just lay a mic on the sister's table and then you don't have to worry about it anymore. Or do you?
Mics do not draw sound to themselves. The mic can convert sound to energy only when the sound hits the mic. Therefore, if you have a mic that is 24 inches or further away from the person's mouth, you are having to amplify all sound that is between the talker's mouth and the table.
In some halls that just won't work. It will really hurt the gain you can get before going into feedback. Papers can get in the way. If the sister puts her Bible right in front of the mic, her voice likely will not be picked up. And what happens when you have a soft speaker and a loud speaker? Having only Trouwjurken nl one mic does not allow for the different gains that are needed.
Since there are so many variables, we cannot "recommend" them to the general KH situation. If a congregation wants to try one, we do sell them. They are not returnable for credit so make sure you can afford to buy something that will be put on the shelf.

Yes, we do sell the omnidirectional boundary mics but we do not recommend them in Kingdom Hall applications. In some halls they may work OK, but in most, you will find they will lower the gain before feedback and that is something most halls do not Eenvoudige Trouwjurken have enough of already.
If a congregation wants us to supply them with one of these boundary mics we will with the understanding that they are not returnable for credit. Look at Shure's MX391C at $157.63 (as of 9-12-05).
Are lapel (clip on) microphones suggested for sister's table?
Lapel mics are often seen used on the nightly news. So are they recommended for use in Kingdom Halls by sisters when they give their parts? Usually not. Lapel mics work well in rooms with no reinforcement but not so well in rooms were there are speakers being used. They are very prone to feedback.
Also, something has to be done with the belt pack. A lot of sisters will not have a pocket to put the transmitter in and who of us wants to help the sisters pin the lapel mic on their dress? Not me.
While we do sell wireless lapel mics, we do not recommend them for use in a Kingdom Hall application. If you want to try it out, remember we do not accept them back for credit.

That answer would have to come from the local Body of Elders whose experience would guide them in making that decision. Some may feel there are only a couple that do a good job. Others might feel that a person can't get better without practice. I suspect there is wisdom in both approaches. I guess I would ask, "Does this person have the potential to be a good mixer operator? Does he take his job seriously? How's his hearing? Can he hear feedback and react to it before the rest of the congregation starts to notice it?"
So much of being a good mixer operator is from training. One person may say handling noise is the worse thing so turn off mics between comments. Others might say it is best to hear the first word(s) of a comment and so leave them up so we can hear the start of the comments. A system that need ridden so carefully so it does not ring with feedback could use some work. There should be no reason to have to turn off all mics when not they're not being immediately used. If feedback is that much of a problem, there are other issues to address.
