One of the key talents a good MC is a sense of timing that makes the events flow, If you put the clock in front of the speaker the mc should probably have some control over it. It's cue for the speaker not a precision timing instrument. The last time, I was up there with one 30 minute session and three lighting talks the first speaker took only 15 minutes for the preso. That did dictate how much time there was to take questions and when the mic's were cutoff. > I'd say yes. By professional I'm not sure if you mean regularized or if you mean more Johny Carson and less Don Rickles? Having a facility the helps the speakers is desirable in my mind. > -M< > > > On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 5:33 PM, Matt Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> We could probably gain the countdown support with a hacked ybox2, see >> <http://www.deepdarc.com/ybox2 >> >. >> >> As for the "lapel" mic support, I agree this would increase the >> professional value.
