Hey, does anyone have a recommendation for a great podium mic? (My pastor just won't wear a DPA or Countryman even though we have them.) I've been using the Sennheiser ME36 mini shotgun podium mic…Continue

Wanted to get everyone's opinion. I am looking to purchase a mic to use on our snare drum. I am looking at two: Shure SM57 and Audix I-5. Of course the SM57 is a good 'ol tried and true mic, but I…Continue

As a contractor I've tried practically everything. In the last year I've fallen for the Earthworks flex mic series of mics. I also do a bunch of live sound with broadcast splits and unanimously the folks in the truck have asked about what I'm using on the podium. Because of its consistent frequency response off or on axis I've found gain before feedback to be outstanding too.
Try the Peavey PM-18S . It's simply AMAZING and much better than mics costing 2 or 3 times more. Great sensivity, high feedback regection and very good sounding.
Comment by Daren Fulks on January 16, 2012 at 8:03am I'm also a big fan of the EV Polarchoice on podium/pulpit.
I like to use the EV Polar Choice podium mics, I have installed these in the last 20 churches and they sound really good

Comment by Frank DeWitt on April 1, 2011 at 7:49pm I put a wireless hand held in a stand where the pastor can get within a few inches without any trouble. BTW Use a GFI on your baptismal. We go one step further and turn off all power to the heaters and pump before we use it. the details on the failure in Waco Tx
The heating elements on both baptistry heaters reportedly overheated sometime before Lake's death. The overheating reportedly caused severe damage to the heating elements inside the heater assemblies and exposed the electrical components to direct contact with the water passing through the heater pipes.

Comment by Mark Beasley on February 28, 2011 at 1:08pm You can try using a condencer micoprhone on the edge of the baptismal.
with enough gain this works great. I have used a Shure SM81, AKG c1000s, or even a AT Pro37r. all of these work well their many othersimalar mic's that will work fine. my only caution DO NOT TOUCH THE MICROPHONE WHILE IN THE WATER. a pastor went to see Jesus(pased away) a few years ago.
to prevent this you can use your trusty multi meter to test the voltage between the water and the case of the microphone. You should read 0V any thing else and you might want to use a hanging microphone that you can't reach above the water. As far as the wireless microphone is concerned you will only hear the pastor speaking. I dont know about you but I want to hear the testamony of the person being baptised. I hope this helps.
oh you might want to know that in the case of the late pastor the water pump was was wired hot netural reversed. this worked just fine untell ground was added to the water.
God Bless and good luck
