If it Worked once Try it again


Well I was having a dilemma. Los, our young adult minister/church planter, has been preaching the last few Sundays.  He does not want to wear an over ear mic like the E6 but also did not want a traditional lapel. Los also uses a large dynamic range when he teaches from very soft to very loud. The is to make him understood no matter how loud or quiet he is. The microphone we tried had been using on him for a while was the E6s which is shorter version of the normal Countryman E6. He liked it because it was easy to hide. The problem is it does not give, at least for Los, great clarity, so I went back to the well. Los wears glasses with a nice flat frame. So like I did with our Teaching Pastor Ryan, see post here, I taped the microphone to his glasses. With Ryan I use a Countryman EMW. I do not have a second one on hand so I used my Shure W93, which is a nice flat lapel like the EMW.  Wow what a difference. Los is clear and I have a ton of head room. Another reminder to keep your options open when trying to mic someone or something up.
