Você está planejando um evento ao vivo. Quais microfones farão seu público se sentir como se estivesse ali?

There are multiple variables to consider when it comes to microphone selection and some elements are subjective while others are objective. The subjective elements are the speakers/presenters preference. The most important thing to do is always ensure the comfort of the speaker/presenter. Gain an understanding of their experience and what has worked well for them in the past. Objectively, you need to consider the venue itself, as well as the wireless spectrum in the space to ensure clarity. Then, you need to consider the function of the meeting. Is it a keynote broadcast, a fireside chat, or performance? Finally, the right choice of mixer and live audio processing is critical. Consider livestream/hybrid attendees here as well.

Disregard the accompanying text here. It's not right, I think it's AI generated. The size and the shape of the venue will affect the type of speakers you use and the placement of them; not the mics. It's important to "EQ out" the room noise/ambient sounds prior to the event as well so you have only the clear, amplified tones coming through the speakers. Also consider the acoustics in this space, as that will help shape the sound reinforcement solution. For larger or outdoor venues, consider delay speakers to further amplify the sound. Also consider the location of the speakers. Can they be rigged in an array, or will you choose a ground supported solution? This will help determine the speaker type you need, (wedges, subs, amps, etc).

I am a big advocate of diagramming out your sound system and layout well in advance of the event if possible. By having all of these elements meticulously laid out, you can consider the range, elements needed for distribution and what conversions are needed where. After you lay it all out, you can then begin the process of including all the elements to amend your diagram and layout the cleanest cable routes, and determine what the optimal solutions are if they are attainable. If you can get into the room prior to immediate setup to do a quick spectrum test along with your other tests, it is always a best practice to do so.

Generally, the production company you choose will have their own tried and true manufacturer of microphones, but again consider the individual event and your use case. It might be necessary to employ a different solution circumstantially. The event type should drive the function of the microphones. Be in conversation with your production partner well in advance of your event if you need a custom solution or an adaptation from their/your preferred manufacturer and model. By doing this in advance and gaining an understanding of the potential audio solution, you can have an accurate cost determined as well. Last minute things could require expedition fees! It is also critical to make sure you know how many backups will be on-site.

Consider your surroundings and what is happening in the world if you are by a military base, dock, or any active emergency transit hub, take this into account when planning. If there is an active military need, the wireless/RF spectrums will be tied up and circumstantially overridden by the military or public safety addresses. Finally, if you are producing any spatial audio in a broadcast, determine how it will be best to notify your attendees when to listen with headphones on and if binaural audio is applicable. Also, do you need any assistive listening or other items for accessibility? This should be done in advance of your event.
