Marching Front Ensemble Cabling Design

Tag along as we create a microphone cabling system for a marching front ensemble, from initial concept to finished installation.
I'm also excited to share that Microphonic Designs is offering audio and percussion products to school band programs. Check it out:

What about setting up the front ensemble around the 50 yard-line in a straight line behind the front hash? Or between the front and back bash area? It’s just making think of marching band season lol

I actually am working with a school that's doing this exact thing for their 2023 season!

Soloist microphones also have to have special consideration since the speakers will be behind them; This type of configuration could easily lead to feedback without certain considerations being in mind.
