[HANASHIR:6048] Re: Headpiece microphone

[Judy Ginsburgh <jerd...>]

Well, here we go again.  I have no individual e-mail to respond to so I have
to respond to the whole list.  Susan, when you mention head piece thing, I
would certainly not advise you to get a head set mike.  I would recommend
instead for the bima, a lavalier.  These clip on to your clothing and you
wear a small box under your clothes somewhere.  You can move wherever you
want.  One of the best lav. mikes I have used was one at Jeff Klepper's old
congregation in Evanston.  It picked up well and consistently.  Maybe Jeff
can let us know what that was.  I use a headset mike (ala Garth Brooks) when
I do performances because it enables me to be able to sing and sign and
interact with the audience.  This is better than a lav. for this purpose
because no matter where you move your head, the mike follows you.  Generally
on the bima, you are singing fairly straight ahead.
So, I would personally go with a nice lavalier mike on the bima.
