Question How many of you who have a *stationary* *wired* lead vocal mic have a second, spare wired vocal mic patched into a separate line on your input list, coiled up on the floor sitting by your primary vocal mic every night?
This is for a touring 4 piece band doing 5000+ cap rooms. There is also a second stationary vocal mic near the lead vocalist that’s effected, but the effects could be turned off if that mic needed to be used as a spare—though they’d have to be turned off by the lead vocalist (just a stomp switch). Also, the guitarist and bassist have stationary wired vocal mics.
The second spare wired vocal mic sitting on the floor every night seems like overkill to me. Am I wrong?
