From: Michael Dobony on 21 Sep 2008 09:25 Went to a Branson show last night. They did a poor job of bringing up the vocals, hiding them just under the guitars and piano. I couldn't identify the lyrics of a number songs. Then there was the quartet. Three singers had what appeared to be AKG wireless mics, but the bass singer had a wired mic I have never seen before. It was thinner than his thumb and almost the entire length fit in his hand, about a half inch above his hand and part of the jack was covered by his pinky finger. Any guesses what it might have been? Mike D.

Any guesses what it might have been? AKG condensor is my guess. Strange choice for a hand-held, it is designed for use on pulpits, ie. at some distance from mouth. > Mike D. Kind regards Peter Larsen

Never more than an inch from his mouth and often less than that. >> Mike D. > > Kind regards > > Peter Larsen
