You could stick a lav onto the front of the prop mic?
Thanks for all your replies guys. I have a Shure 55 and have used that before on a Senn G3 in line transmitter but the sound tends to get a bit thin if the actors work off the mic. I thought I might be able get some decent sound quality out of a large diprhagm mic- (with a fair bit of low and low mid rolled off!)
Considered using a Lav/Lapel attached to the mic but would be happier with a cardiod pick up pattern, with plenty of omni's onstage already GBF can become an issue. I dont have any directional Lav mics.
Shure will sell me the G3 over here for around a grand (AUS $). I think I will buy one and I will let you all know how the 414 goes...
Thinking of other uses for the Shure G3 in the future, has anyone ever plugged a DI box into one?? Cheers.
