I've been found out
.
Didn't ya notice my second sentence?
Yup...I've got 'em and couldn't live with out them. For the "ultra-slick" set up, I've got snake cables running in conduit between the walls going to the big room, another going to the drum room and one to the vocal booth. These things are a must have in my book. Other wise you'd be tangled up all the time, damaging stuff but you've already figured out the reasons why to have them.
Like I said, don't skimp if this is for a road crew. If you're gentle and take good care of your stuff and you're just looking at light homestudio work, the cheaper units might serve you well. At least look for rebuildable connectors, that way if one goes intermittent, you can repair/resolder. Some of the ultra cheapies don't allow for disassembly of the connector and to fix it, you cut the thing off, go shopping and your cable gets a little shorter every time. Oh, and look for soldered connectors. Some real cheap stuff they crimp the connector instead of soldering it.
Hope this helps...sorry for the goof but, that's just the way I am
but you gotta admit, it would look pretty damn impressive to have a couple dozen wireless mics set up. Imagine all the antennas set up in the rack...it would look like a porcupine or an antenna farm. Chicks would draw to you like wasps to Kentucky Fried Chicken at a picnic
