Music/Singers picked up in headset mic
« on: Jul 24, 2011, 12:58 am »
I'm having a problem in my current show. The Motorola radios we are using work great when there is no music happening. but once the orchestra kicks in and the singers are going, the headsets are impossible to use. I think the mics are picking up the extra noise in the room. Any ideas on what we could do to avoid that problem would be appreciated.

Nope, push-to-talk. It's getting slowly to be less of a problem as everyone learns the show. But if something unexpected happens, it will be tricky/fun to deal with.
