<div dir="ltr">Just an update to the mythical "Bluetooth" microphones and the performers from China.... the performance came and went, and it was good, but they didn't bring any mics. Lost in translation? We had been quite clear with them (or at least our contact person, who was Stateside, talking to the producer in China) - that we didn't have a fleet of wireless lavs or headworn mics.... but no matter... they arrived, and asked for wireless/headworn mics. Anyway, no international incident occurred, although they asked if we would have them by Curtain, which was about 1.5 hours away... which we reminded them we had told them we did not have any, and they assured us they'd bring their own. Translation notwithstanding, we're not sure they understood this conversation had been held previously with their reps.<div><br></div><div>Anyway.... still haven't seen or worked with the mythical "bluetooth" microphones. (I still wonder if they ever meant "Bluetooth" at all.)</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 9:52 PM, Joe D via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">The Bluetooth standard allows for different power levels. Most devices are created with the short range (30ft) signal in mind, but more power is permitted by the standard, and therefore greater range. However, obviously for two-way communication over the longer ranges, both ends need to support the longer range.<br><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
