Pat Heigham <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Caught a bit of the BBC4 broadcast of Henry V from the Globe theatre, last night. (2012 production).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Having worked on a doc about the re-building of this venue and needing to get audio off the stage at\n \n Wonder if it was slung mikes?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Any ideas? IMDB has no credits for sound crew.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Graeme Wall<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n I thought they used radio mics these days?\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pat Heigham <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n The costumes did not appear to be mike friendly – armour breastplates etc.\n Nick Ware<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n I didn\u2019t see it, but you should be able to tell instantly if it was concealed personal mics. Probably not all on radiomics in 2012, when massive levels of house PA weren\u2019t deemed necessary. The Globe is a very intimate and compact stage and auditorium anyway, and the following has worked well for me. So, more likely – I would hope – four or five C451 or similar along footlights (we used to call them \u201cmice\u201d), and slung Schoeps etc (capsules on KC 5 extensions) dropped in from above in strategic positions.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n Not necessarily relevant to the production that Pat mentions, but worth a look here: \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n one point, I was impressed with the sound pick up.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Don’t think mics were hidden in the hairlines, but could have been.\n
\n Like to talk with the Sound Supervisor about this.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
