Thanks for watching! Leave a comment and tell me about your ceremony rig!

[@pierredelux2319]

Bose s1pro, sennheiser ew100 eng kit, ipad... never had any dropout

[@mikelopez3577]

Thanks for this video! Quick question. How high in the air do the paddles need to be to avoid drop outs?

[@DJJoeBunn]

@@mikelopez3577 I would try and get over tops of guest heads as they sit at least.

[@mikelopez3577]

@@DJJoeBunn - Mahalo! Really appreciate your response!

[@mikelopez3577]

Sorry, one more question. Do you have a paddle antenna per microphone? Example 2 lavs 2 paddles? Really appreciate the information! Hoping to replicate this type of system very soon! Thanks for all your content! Need to join DJs vault as well to get my library in order.

Trying!

Another awesome training video from Joe Bunn!

Great Setup Joe!!❤❤

Awesome! Thanks JB!

I love this setup. Did pretty much the same thing

[@djbenny8093]

So clean!

[@scratch1200s]

Dope set up!

[@josephshamah5892]

Never put my separate pieces together in a "rig" for the ceremony. Makes a lot of sense to do it this way, da. Time to get busy. Thanks Joe for this enlightening and DETAILED video.

[@DJJoeBunn]

Can’t wait to see yours!

[@skubaentertainmentdiscjock7423]

Awesome. Love it!

[@hammelgohard]

Nice idea!

[@upbeatsdj8439]

Just added paddle antennas and an antenna splitter to my rig in August. That improved my sound 150%

[@DJJoeBunn]

Paddles are pro move!

[@waylangrin1228]

Slick!

[@justgrinproductions7876]

I like it!

[@Neckwerk2]

Thanks for the video Joe. I need to build a system like this.

[@DJJoeBunn]

Goals!

[@nextgen1]

Thanks for the info. Our ceremony set is very compact. On a utility cart that has a rap around curtain. To make it look attractive. Bose L1 M2 with one B1 for speaker. Two wireless mics and one wired hand held. With a small Bose mini mixer.

[@DJJoeBunn]

That’s a nice rig too

[@stevendail5313]

Thanks Joe!

Thanks my NC brother.

[@kenwa6180]

Very good investment!!

[@DJJoeBunn]

Agreed!

[@PascalPointParty]

You're the man !!

[@DJJoeBunn]

Only in the U.S.

[@donnycollins1797]

My viewing of this is very timely! Just last week I received two of the new Sennheiser EW-D lavalier systems and the antenna splitter. Half wave diodes should arrive by this Friday. It was expensive, but it's definitely an investment in the best quality tools for my service. It's a bit surreal making these investments, but I have LOTS of events coming up, so now is the time. I hope to rack the mixer soon and add a third unit for a reader and then prewire everything. I can power from a Jackery power supply and play through an LD Maui 28 G2 or a Bose S1 Pro. It's a big update for me.

[@djalexupdike]

So much good info here! Ceremony audio is always tricky and I HATE when mics start dropping out and you get that awkward stare from, like, the bride's aunt wondering why everything sounds like garbage

[@DJJoeBunn]

Worst way to start the day

[@brentwatts4080]

Great video. I am in the process of building something similar.

[@DJJoeBunn]

Keep me posted how it goes.

[@andrepeterson7194]

Love this Joe!! is there a reason you went with the traditional mixer vs. the Samson SM10? Just curious since that would seem to fit in the rack mount.

[@bunndjco]

Say a random band or musician shows up, the samson was hard to get to the back of. This mixer had more functionality and I think some reverb and effects etc.

[@themitchtaylor]

Great vid and way to use a keyboard shelf :)

[@DJJoeBunn]

Thanks my man. Looking forward to your presentation on 12/16 in the Vault!

[@drjproductions186]

Great video Joe! Does it matter which band I get? Like what if I get two of the EV microphone sets at 6H bandwidth and one at 5H...do you know if that's a big deal or not? Over here by Washington state...

[@DJJoeBunn]

That's a Ben Stowe question, [e-mail]

[@stevetheq]

use with battery powerd blue tooth speaker no pr oblem?

[@thomashinds5668]

I love the RE3s! I'm using the same ones. I saw you had a fourth in the rack. Is that just as an extra or do you have a regular plan for that microphone?

[@DJJoeBunn]

Just three in this rack!

[@allandenola5968]

Great video Joe What scrim is that and what table is under it . Looks really great 👍

[@DJJoeBunn]

Fastsetusa.com, tell him I sent you.

[@allandenola5968]

Thank You I need that setup I like it a lot !

[@dcentertainmentpa]

I have the 3 mics as well, but do a single space PreSonus mixer (StudioLive 16R). Controlled via iPad. Allows me to do sound check from the front of the hall and adjust as needed without running back and forth. Also allows me to roam during the ceremony and make sure it's being heard everywhere there is a guest. Nice addition having the paddles. I haven't gotten there yet, just doing the half wave upgrade currently.

[@DJJoeBunn]

Yes sir! That is a sweet rig you've got too!

[@soundservices]

Awesome Joe!!

[@Mrbond1116]

Nice setup. How did you mount your mixer.

[@DJJoeBunn]

I think I just velcro'd it to that pull out shelf.

[@DJProsandVideos]

Great set up! Unfortunately, we here on the coast perform a lot of ceremonies that require everything to be battery powered. The beach and other remote locations wouldn’t be a good place for this rig. We use the Bose S1 Pro and a few other tricks to get around the power limitations. I will post a video soon of our set up and how it’s flexibility lends itself to being able to not only perform in locations with no power but also allows us to make one trip out to the beach and one trip off. Love the way your system is out together though. Clean. Efficient. Flexible.

[@DJJoeBunn]

Yeah, I guess that's my next rig, all battery.

[@garrettb5470]

The Shure ULXD4 digital microphones have automatic channel/frequency changing if there is a lot of frequency interference.

[@DJJoeBunn]

Great mics!

[@DJSTOEK]

🖤

[@vasquezmarketingmedial.l.c3743]

recommend rane mlm 42s or rane mlm82 mixers for cleaner install

[@ebnyflyer]

I use the Denon DN 312X. I wish I would have known about the Rane MLM 82S. I like the smaller form-factor of the Rane

[@someonesaidyes]

this is dope. Thanks for sharing. What's the situation when you swap out standard antennas to the paddles?

[@DJJoeBunn]

Range. It’s all about more range.

[@someonesaidyes]

The DJ's Vault I wasn’t clear. Do you always rock the paddles, or only when you’re at a certain distance? Thx!

[@DJJoeBunn]

@@someonesaidyes I am always rocking the paddles for this particular rig.

[@barepinesentertainment5998]

Question. What lavs do you guys use? The wind kills mine. We use countryman with wind cover.

[@DJJoeBunn]

You need cat head wind stoppers. Huge but worth it for windy days.

[@3rdRoland]

Since you have the cables in one lid, have you checked to see if you could put the paddles in the other lid, and have everything in one box?

[@DJJoeBunn]

Trust me, I tried. So close.

[@outoftheboxsidehustle9380]

Thanks for the great video Joe. Do you use this same system and just plug into your controller after ceremony, or do you have 2 more microphones you use for reception?

[@DJJoeBunn]

I never DJ off the ceremony rig, it's just for that

[@ebnyflyer]

I used my ceremony rig for both purposes. Works well, saves bringing extra equipment.

[@outoftheboxsidehustle9380]

@@ebnyflyer I started doing it recently also, saves me time on setup and breakdown.

[@allandenola5968]

Hi joe do you use serato dj on your laptop when you do a ceremony? I have used iTunes in the past and last week I used serato dj on a separate laptop than the one I use for wedding reception Thank You 🙏

[@DJJoeBunn]

I use an old school ipod or my ipad

[@DeeJayShowTime]

nice video. would you be able to share a link to the keyboard shelf you used.

[@DJJoeBunn]

I tried to find it, but can't! I'm sorry! Google "rack mount keyboard shelf" and see if you can find.

[@DeeJayShowTime]

@@DJJoeBunn I found it thank you.

[@marksanangelo6137]

I have a pair of the EV RE3 Lavs, a Samson SM10 rack mount mixer and a Furman M-8LX Power conditioner. I'm using the JBL EON One Pro. I use a laptop with a Numark DJ DJ2GO2. I also have the ability to go all battery power if needed. I haven't had the need (yet) for a 3rd mic, but I have room in my rack if I have a request to have it.

[@DJJoeBunn]

You have a nice rig there!

[@jessezepeda3990]

Hey Joe are the Evs better than the Sennheisers you use to use?

[@DJJoeBunn]

I like both about the same.

[@DjMixstyles]

will you show the sennheiser rig also

[@DJJoeBunn]

I think I did a few videos back, the gig log one.

[@soundcentral]

Have you had any issues with the LS500? Also, are you able to stream the music via Bluetooth from the iPad?

[@DJJoeBunn]

I don't stream any ceremony music...yet. No issues with LSP

[@travisdupree2536]

@djjoebunn do your guys still use this set up and are these mics still working well with no drops? I have the Shure BLX and they are terrible and I am looking into redoing my mics for ceremonies. Thanks in advance.

[@DJJoeBunn]

Everyone has something different honestly. I use the Sennheiser LSP500 speaker with mics built in back.

[@travisdupree2536]

@@DJJoeBunn yeah, like you said in another video, they are discontinued so they are hard to find. Wasn't sure if the EV's you mentioned were still a good lapel mic to use. Thanks

[@mixmastertoronto]

How do you pick up the brides audio if you’re just micing the groom?

[@bunndjco]

The right type of Lav will always get enough of the bride off the officiant's mic. If they were reading vows to each other, I would make the groom wear one too.

[@ksjdiamondentertainment877]

How do you pick up the audio from the bride? Hope she speaks loud enough for the grooms mic to pick her voice up?

[@DJJoeBunn]

The groom or officiant lav always gets the bride.

No mic dropouts means using a cable.
