Setting up to record a speaker or panel

“

Now for purposes of this demonstration, I'm going to be having the speaker miced up with the wireless loud mic that's running to my mixer, which is running into my camera. Then I'm also going to be using a shotgun mic directly on the camera going in. And the main reason I'm doing that is because I want to pick up a little more of the ambiance of the room, the reaction of the people as he's giving his presentation. However, if the reactions of those audience members weren't as important for what I wanted to record and I wanted to get a nice, clean signal. In the very best case scenario, I'm often able to plug into the live mix from the room. So when you're shooting in a room like this, they have their own sound system more often than not. And often, if I'm very lucky, there will also be an audio engineer with a mixer. So I'm able to just plug into that mixing board, or plug into the AB system in the room and then run than audio directly to my mixer. So that's what I have right here…
