Hey audio mastodon peeps.. especially mic people. I help run a monthly meetup for game devs in Helsinki (IGDA) and we often have seminars on stage. Our problem is audio. The sound system itself is bad (it’s a nightclub) but the miking feels like the bigger problem. Our hosts can handle handheld mics, but presenters/guests often cannot. Combined with bad audio monitoring they don’t know they aren’t speaking into the mic. Feedback (the speakers point across the stage) is also an issue.

I’m trying to figure out a solution on a low budget, and I’m wondering if something like DJI or Rode wireless lavalier/lapel mics would be best? Probably not a table mic? Any advice? Please ask more questions if it helps.

If you’re in Helsinki and can advise, come to our next meetup on Feb 10th and I’ll buy you beer.

Also happy if you can boost or point me at someone who can help.
