Wow. I wasn’t expecting so many replies so quickly. Thank you so much for all your comments, some really helpful information.
As requested a little more information.
- It would be radio mics. From memory for a Panto we usually get away with 12
- We pretty much always perform in the same venue. It’s a theatre based in a secondary school. I was the head of music there in the past but that’s another story. I’ll be honest I don’t know the sound set up. It wasn’t something I got involved in but I can find out. And at least I know now who to ask and the kind of questions.
- We do have our own rehearsal space. It is secure but I would want to check on temp and conditions before storing any sound equipment there.
- And yes we do need them. I’m all for projection but with the size of the theatre even I will concede that mics are needed.
All these answers have given me a lot to think about. Sound is something I am keen to learn more about and I know feel I have a better understanding on what questions I need to be asking and who too. There’s a thriving amdram community in our area so I might reach out to find out what they do.

Hi,
so happy to find this forum and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I’m on the committee for a community theatre group. We do around 2 productions a year.
Up till now we have borrowed mics from another local group. But I wanted to look into the possibility of buying our own. So I just wondered if anyone had any best practice when it came to mics?
Is it a good investment to buy our own?
If so where is the best place to buy?
Would hiring be a better option?
If so where’s the best place to hire?
Any advice/suggestions would be very welcome.
Thank you

Thank you. I hadn’t even considered the fact they would need maintaining. Plus I know the committee would be keen for us to hire them to groups as a way to get back some of the money. But that comes with it’s own risks.
I’m definitely going to advise hiring over buying from all that I’ve learned so far!
