Some people I was watching the game with insisted that the volume of his singing didn't change even though the distance from his mouth to his microphone was chaging during the first song. A good person working the board can compensate, but there is still a lag while he notices that he needs to crank up the volume. No change in volume at all is a sign that the singing wasn't coming from his mouth. I wasn't paying enough attention one way or another.

“A good person working the board can compensate, but there is still a lag while he notices that he needs to crank up the volume.”

Crank up the preamp gain then use a vocal compressor, feed that to the soundboard mix channel. Electronics then keeps the level nearly constant and helps with feedback too.

This solves the problem of a performer zooming around the mic, as well as suddenly varying levels.

The new mics are directional and have no lag (or setting) time.
