Finally got to use my GTD G-787H on an outdoor wedding ceremony. The music was also my first to contract in Flute/Violin/Cello. Given we had a Juliard grad and 1st chair Cello & Violin from the symphony, the music was outstanding. I used the GTD to lav mic the minister. My rig was 1-Carvin neo15, GTD M-4500 power amp (bridged-800 watts), Behringer xenyx 1202 mixer, GTD G-787H with lav mic/bodypack.
First the good; To be such cheap lav mics, these things sound really, really good. The bodypacks never gave the first hint at any kind of drop-out and I was shooting about 100 ft (600 ft range). I've been using AT-2100s for lav and fairly often have to worry about drop-outs but zero on this GTD rig. I also only hooked up 1 mic channel but can use up to 4 in any combination of lav, hand-held or headset mics.
The bad; Although the lav mics have a wind screen, I had more than enough problems with wind noise. I may look at picking up a good directional element to use with this units. Other than that, I couldn't be more pleased and will probably be ordering some more of these later this summer. The rig listed above ended up being a potent little rig and probably more than enough for any ceremony I can remember doing.
