Thank you for the information and very educational video. Looking forward to more videos on topics like speaker placement, audio in an outdoor ceremony situation, and mics for a soft talking officiant
Thanks for the info. I think it would be interesting to see the most optimal wedding ceremony rig involving speaker placement and mic'ing the officiant, bride and groom. We typically use 2 powered speakers at the rear of the ceremony site connected via a wireless system and still struggle with feedback. We're using an me2 for officiant and a 945 for the vows.
@@DJ-Coma front, 2 feet ahead of mic position 10 feet from end of the row, canted toward the isle, intersection point roughly 2/3rds of the way down the rows. Music output in mono. Add White scrims and voila. 800+ ceremonies no complaints.
@@christiansmith8529 good tip. I just stay a little more to the side to stay out of photos because in the long run that matters more than the direction ot the audio.
@@DJ-Coma doing it this way there's about 50-60 feet between speakers. Can honestly say I've only ever seen them in shots from drones. On a busy day me and my staff will do 6 ceremonies and 3 receptions. I'm not saying we specialize in ceremonies but we often get ones another company is doing the reception for on the recommendation of officiants and venues. Edit: changed a misspelling
@@christiansmith8529 do you connect the speakers to each other with a cable or go wireless? Just seems like too much of a hassle to me for not much of a difference to the audience unless your speakers connect wirelessly.
Instead of Private messaging you I will ask here as a learning tool... In the case of the Boundary Mic.. #1 can and should we use something lik that on a podium so the speakers do not need to worry about adjusting the height of the mic. What are the draw backs.... #2 do they have wireless version and can those be connected some to a Sennheiser g4 or a Shure BLX body pack.
The short answer is yes. You see microphones like that sometimes on long conference tables. Any wired mic can be turned into a wireless with a plug-on transmitter and the correct cable adapters.
Great video! At 25:50 you say "Set this to what I think it should be... then use gain" The thing is I don't know what it should be, haha. I've never done lavs before. So should I just put it at 12 oclock and then start bring up the gain until I see the red limit then I bring it bad down? Also, I would LOVE to see how you use the QSC mixer to actually EQ the lavs. I haven't decided which mixer to get yet because I'm still so nervous about using lavs but the QSC looks legit.
This is probably the best microphone tutorial I have ever seen. Thanks Joe!
Thanks! :-)

Just found this channel and damn glad I did. Looking forward to more knowledgeable info. Thanks for posting.
Great video. Thank you for the info!
Thanks for this video, going to double check my Sennheiser lavalier mic settings!
As Always Joe, You Rock with great info and things that DJs Need! Looking forward to the next Video! - JW
Probably today!
Do you think its wise to not use lavalier mics for ceremony? Sounds like the headset is the way to go.

Setup off to one side instead of behind.

Gotcha. I'll do a video on that today!
Probably a pretty basic question, but what are the cases you are using to hold your mic packs? I like how compact they are.
They appear to be Pelican 1060s.
