When striking a stage, I always start by pulling all mics (and clips, if stored with) from their stands and putting them in one place so I can keep watch and get them back to their homes as quickly as possible to avoid the possibility of any microphones “walking off” in the rush of load-out. I started taking these pictures after a Springfield church chose the Gillioz Theatre to host their annual holiday variety show. While I wish I had been more consistent in taking these photos and collected pictures from every show I’ve mixed, I would like to showcase a few in today’s post.
In browsing the photo album on my phone, I realized I have gathered a decent collection of shots featuring collections of microphones I’ve used on assorted gigs. There are so many different kinds with a variety of applications and sonic possibilities. I could browse the web for days just looking at and reading about various mics.
