[SML] Suggestions on portable personal PA....

[Stephen Litterst]

Look at tour guide rigs.  May not have the audio fidelity we’re used to, but they’re robust and easy to use.

We had a request to set something up on a campus tour bus, and found a nice belt-worn speaker with a headset mic.  Simple for your choral director to transport from room to room and the controls are easy and accessible.
