MAKING A DOUBLE MICROPHONE FOR A LEAD IN MUSIC THEATRE

Some roles require a microphone that has both a main AND a backup due to their costume, the amount of time they spend on stage or other reasons unique to every show.
Today I'm running you through how I put together what I call a 'double rig" for a lead cast member in a musical. My method this time is just a combination of tricks I have learnt from other mic techs, lessons my own experiences and following the specifications of the sound design given to me.
