Creating hybrid services at WUUC are complex procedures — and not for those with agoraphobia!
In mid-April, Kermit Sprang rented a 20-foot scissor lift so he and Tom Richards could install choir mics in the nether-reaches of the sanctuary.
The mics are multi- directional, unlike the wireless mics that are focused. Hopefully the choir will be back live in the sanctuary soon. When they are, the mics will not help people in the sanctuary hear the choir — that will be live sound and need no amplification. The mics provide sound for the zoom broadcast, a continuing part of hybrid services.
Several people were talking about the “large cobwebs” they saw on April 24 — those were the new choir mics! The mics themselves are tiny, and fishing wire was used for the lines to position them. Their position can be adjusted depending on the size of the choir.
