Miking Seminar Events

One of the things that annoys the CRAP out of me is when I get a recording of an event and people haven’t miked the audience properly.

Net result? I hear the question and then can’t hear the answer.

The solution for any savvy seminar promoter is to make sure that their are mics in the audience for people to use for their questions.

When the events first start, you’ll have to TRAIN people to wait for the mic before they start asking the question. Within a very short period of time, everyone will know that they should wait until they get a hold of the mic before they start firing their questions at you.

When you have a decent size group of people at one of your events, you’ll want to get some hand held wireless mics for this purpose.

Corded mis will work fine, but you’ll have to set them up on a stand on one or both sides of the room and then ask people to “go to the mic” when they have a question.

Either way you do it, make SURE that you get anyone asking a question ON MIC. If not, all of your participants AT the event and those listening to the recordings will be FRUSTRATED.
