[SML] [EXT] Re: Mic Drop

[Matthew Breton]

QLab hotkey to mute the mic in question, then a split-second later fire a "mic hits the floor" sound cue?

Of course, then you have to be sure the artist is only going to drop that​ particular mic...

...I’m sure both the mic and the system will fine – it just gives me gas I guess.

I really don’t imagine any system damage if you have the least of limiters on it. The mic may even sound better after (I’ve used many that have taken much worse abuse).

Hi all.



I have artist coming to one of the theatres that states explicitly in their rider that they will drop the mic (ours) on purpose at least once during the show, and that they don’t want our PA muted when this happens. I will be charging her for an SM58 in advance. Also, my sound tech will be instructed to watch for this and try and mute our system to avoid the huge damage that could be caused by such a drop. This artist is just starting on an extensive tour and I’m sure they will be visiting some of you as well – what will you do with this rider request?
