Re: Microphone recommendation

Peter,

I'm glad that you've got a good head on your shoulders - I've heard similar stories from other people who get in too deep and end up paying for it; I didn't want you to get yourself into that.

Ty's recommendation of the venerable SM58 is perfectly fine, but you should check out Sennheiser (e8** series) and Audio-Technica also.

You have something in mind, but it may not be the best solution for the space - a site survey is the best way to determine what will be the most beneficial.

The main key factors to consider are:
1. What maximum SPL is required and at what distance?
2. What type of coverage is necessary? This is where the room dimensions come into play - is the seating set up along the long wall or short wall, etc.?
3. What is the budget and is there any existing equipment that can be used to augment the new equipment?

I think that will get everyone on the same page with you. :-)
