What type of mic is used on stage?

Body Mics. The most important microphones in a theatrical performance are the body mics. These wireless microphones are attached to the actors and provide a consistent close-miked pickup of the actors wherever they may be on stage. Body mics are better known as lavalier microphones.

How do stage mics work?

Boundary mics are designed to be laid flat on an acoustically reflective surface—in this case, the stage itself. The reflective surface becomes part of how the microphone picks up sound. When using boundary microphones on a stage, one must evaluate if they will pick up too much foot noise during the performance.

What do you mean by microphone techniques?
