Regarding microphones for use by the Caller (not by the band), do you have a
particular brand and model that you think is superior for use by a caller?
Our group (Queen City Contras, Burlington, Vermont) does not own sound
equipment, so we are at the mercy of the the equipment provided by the band (or
sometimes a small-time, local provider). Often it is quite difficult to hear
the caller during a dance, and I have experienced the same problem in many
other halls, with many other sound systems (even some very expensive systems).
The calling needs to be intelligible, not acoustically accurate. I know that
there are many contributing factors, but I suspect that often the microphone is
a big part of the problem.
Do you supply a microphone for the caller? Do you have a particular brand and
model that you think is superior for use by a dance caller?
Thanks,
