Re: Wireless Systems

Generally speaking, whenever you go with more than two mics (and only two inputs on the camera), your venturing into a place where you will need to consider using a mixer and someone to operate it. The problem is that you can't just leave all the mics turned up without introducing a massive amount of room noise - to the point of the audio being unusable. When using more than two mics (one for each channel on the camera) someone needs to be riding the levels via a mixer.

Honestly, I would recommend hiring a sound person for the shoot and renting anything you might still need [that they don't have]; it will be a lot less expensive then buying everything to make this work which, even on the cheap, will run you into the thousands of dollars.

The other option, is to use only two wireless systems - those being a couple of handheld mics that simply get passed around from person to person.
