Advice on Connecting and accelerometer to a Lav microphone
Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2015 9:48 am
Hi there,
I am trying to figure out how to connect and accelerometer to a Shure Lavalier microphone. The use case for this is as follows:
I host events in large halls and have a runners holding microphones for the audience when they need to ask questions to the presenters on stage. If you have a hall with 400 people in passing the microphone can take some time and kills the mood of the show. My idea is to connect an accelerometer to a small lav microphone which will be incased in a protective foam ball/casing which can be thrown across the room from person to person. The idea is that the microphone is thrown, the accelerometer mutes the microphone and when the person catches it and holds it up to their mouth to talk the microphone un-mutes.
This removes the need to have runners holding mic's and improves audience participation in shows.
I am not sure if this is the correct place to find this out so any help/advice would be appreciated.
thanks,
Michael
