Default Wireless mics and small PA for speaker meetings

Perhaps you don't object to poor quality speech. But even the railways
seem to have acknowledged decent quality helps at even a noisy station.


I sold a load of PA kit to a supermarket once - it was still being built
and I worked for Rediffusion. It was a lovely setup - lots of small
speakers, each not too loud but good even coverage.

Got over-ruled by their designer "who know about these things" and
replaced the whole lot with half a dozen big speakers.

Predictable result - deafening or inaudible depending on where you
stood. The complained about how bad it was so we went back and fitted
almost exactly what I'd sold them in the first place.

Next project - blow me if the bugger didn't do the same all over again.
Didn't bother me - I got paid to install it twice both times.
