Get yourself an iRiver and your problems will be over. I have three that I use all the time and they work like a charm.

Thats why communication with the DJ is so important. If you establish a relationship with the DJ early on they will warn you before such things happen. Afterall in your example the FOB likely used the DJ’s microphone.

Another idea…
If the ceiling is not too high or the distance too great, bounce the light off the ceiling.

wish I had read this prior to replying…. said exactly what I was trying to… only much better.

Yes I use the iRiver and sync in post, but I do this when my recording needs exceed the number of wireless systems I have (which is two). I have had events were I needed to mic 5 people and none of them were going to the same location (such as a podium). Most often the iRiver is used to mic a specific location and is primarily a backup to my shotgun mic, or wireless depending on the circumstances or venue restrictions.

For my application, weddings, I have not had a real problem. Most often I am using them as mics for readers or a vocalist. In these applications they have not let me down.

the advantages… cost for one. a few models are less than most MD recorders never mind that you don’t have to buy any disk. Ease of use. Transfering the recorded audio takes only a few minutes. The iRiver does not have a graphic disply for recording, only playback. This is easy to work around via a quick sound check prior to use.

I have been using the iRiver products for about a year now. I liked them so much I gave away my MD recorders….
I find the audio to be very good. More than adequate for vows, readings, recording vocalist and the like. I use a Azden EX-503 lav mic for actual pickup. These are like $20 at B & H and work very well. These two together produce audio that is difficult to distinguish between the iRiver and my MUCH more expensive wireless mic.

Another vote for iRiver. I have three of them, much easier to use than MD.
