I've been debating about this for a long time... but I'm finally re-doing my ceremony rig.
My typical set up is a Yamaha MG-10 mixer. I have a QLX-D lav mic. And then if I need a handheld I have been taking the one out of my reception system, and then reconnecting it later. I carry it all around in a big waterproof SKB case. And while the function has been perfect... the set up and breakdown always takes a little longer than I wanted.
I hadn't bought another QLX-D system because, quite frankly, they're pricey. And I probably do 1-2 ceremonies a month. It's a painful set up, but I'm not doing it every day.
But I'm tired of it.
Taking the plunge today and picking up a new QLX-D system (combo of SM-58 and beltpack so I can do either). And I'm also moving to the Denon 312 mixer so that I can have a simple rackmount system. Finally.. to keep the antennas tidy, I'm getting the Shure UA-844 to boost and simplify my antennae set up. I'll be mounting it all into a 4U Gator rack.
I should go from 15 minutes+ to about 2 in getting ready to go for a ceremony.
I'll be sure to send this group some pictures as soon as I get it all put together.
