This is "Field Day" at my wife/daughter's elementary school where they "hired" me to play music for them. FWIW, they did try to pay me but I refused. Hey, a guy's gotta have a freebie every now and then.
The field is fairly large. Probably 500ft squared. I used the Bose L1 and coverage was good. Sennheiser wireless hand-held for opening ceremonies (200 ft jump). The power is bad in this area (low voltage) and I needed to run 200 ft of extension cable to get as close as possible to the kids. I wanted to put sound up on the patio area, at the back of the school so I used this to try out Ben's little trick of doing wireless with an AT series-2000 lav unit (with the AT 1/4" adapter on the transmitter). The receiver was roughly 250-300 feet from the transmitter, apparently on the edge of drop-outs. I had to put the receiver on the ground, just around the corner, so it would pickup signal. It worked like a champ. One set of batteries for the entire day and zero issues. The staff just raved about having sound at their patio (where they put the blow-up jumpies). EV ELX112P for the remote. Thanks for the tip, Ben!
