In this live stream, join Shure associates and professional sound designers Ray Nardelli and Stephanie Farina to show us how to rig and mount lavaliers on actors for different applications for theater. We'll cover the tools needed and tricks used by the pro's, and will demonstrate placement of mics on the forehead and building an ear rig on live talent. We'll also cover sweat mitigation, painting, placement consistency, cleaning, Shure products for theater, and Q/A.
