Re: What's Your Audio Setup?
Hey Zhong,
Welcome to the forum...I think for most weddings you've got plenty of gear (overkill likely), but with weddings it seems you can never have too much back-up. Generally I use a Senn G2...

Hey Doug,
One thing that has become apparent to me in this business, and in others, but particularly this; is that often clients don't realize that they have a need.
