Lavalier Mic Rack
Using a strip of Velcro and a staple gun I created a storage rack for the lavalier microphones. The staple hold both sides of the Velcro in place but the top layer is unattached on the right side. This allows each section to be "unzipped" to access the microphone. Students would wind the mics around the transmitter packs or wad them into the cases. Several of the microphones are showing significant wear and possible breakage. Almost all were bent and difficult to place on the actors because they would no longer lay flat. I'm hoping that this method allows the cables to stretch back to straight as gravity pulls down. It also makes it easier to see all the different types of connectors. I didn't find any resources or similar examples for storing lavalier mics online. Hopefully there isn't something I've overlooked that could potentially be a problem. How do you keep your microphones organized and untangled?
