Microphone(s) setup for live classical guitar ensemble
Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 5:52 pm
Hello,
I direct a few guitar ensembles at a couple high schools I work at.
I was wondering how I should mike them up for live performances. In particular, a group of 8-10? (my other group of 25 is much easier to hear)
The main issue I'm having is not being able to get any decent volume before feedback.
What mics would you recommend? I was thinking omni mics would be the go. In the past I've just put
up a few vocal mics on each section.. As you might have guessed this doesn't work so well.
The players are just learning proper classical technique (not capable of getting much volume out of their Right Hand technique.) The guitars are also quite cheap and lacking
in volume.
One of the groups has a performance coming up at the darebin arts centre, they will have 2x jbl eon 10" powered and a small mixer at their disposal..
Thanks in advance!
