thanks Kev, we are going to get this solved before the next gig on the 23rd.  the second column should allow us to get the volume we need without generating feedback.  i have a friend who runs 2 Bose columns and he said bose tech recommended getting Sure Beta mics and that solved his problem

Kev tyler:
Hi Ken

Sorry mate, not been here for a while

I hope the extra column sorts your issues, I would guess one quality mic versus another, shouldn't really make much difference and would guess you could sort this by relocating the singer or column,

Good luck

Kev

after a few hours of trying different microphones in the garage, we came up with the following conclusions.

Placement of the columns as far to the left or right of the singers as possible is critical (duh) we tilted the system only as far as to have the edge of the cone of sound reach the lead vocalist (about 20 degrees)

One of my friends has been using a Bose system for a year and had a lot of feedback too.  the Bose people recommended that he try the new beta 87A condenser mic.  We did tests of Sure SM57 and 58, AKG condenser mic and two different senheiser mics, and the Sure Beta87A.  The 87A was indeed far above all the others in feedback rejection and clarity.  The lead singer was blown away by the results we got from the system.

I will post the results of the next gig here.

Kev tyler:
Wow I am surprised that it made so much difference, but there you go, you live and learn. 😊

Good luck Ken

Hi Ken,

In this situation, any decent super- or hyper-cardioid mic will work about as well as the Beta87A.
AKG D5
Audio Techinca AE-6100
Audix OM6
EV ND-767
Sennheiser E845
Shure Beta58
And more.

It all boils down to having the appropriate pattern mic for a particular situation.

Thanks and good health,  Weogo
