A Soundman's Advice to Jesse Jackson (and others)
Understanding that the intricacies of modern sound systems and complex audio signal flow are truly known to only a “select few” (the few, the proud…), I offer the following advice:
Before one cuts one’s own off by expressing, on-camera and on-mic, the wish to do the same to another, please consider this -
When you have a microphone strapped to your chest, there can be no expectation of privacy!!!
A microphone is NEVER really “off” (well, there are some exceptions, if it’s a condenser mic it does require 48V of phantom power, but lest I geek out while making my point, I shan’t digress further).
Whispering doesn’t help. THERE’S A MIC STRAPPED TO YOUR CHEST!!!
Claiming your crude comments were “highly private” is ludicrous. THERE’S A MIC STRAPPED TO YOUR CHEST!!!
Like, Duh.
Sheesh.
Thank you, and as always –
Have a Nice Day
