Microphone question
Christopher Bogart
Having seen the first episode of Match Game and other episodes of Joker's
Wild. I noticed that there is a microphone cord that hangs from the host's
belt.
Dick Clark is the most obvious example.
What I'm wondering is why did Clark use this circa mid 1980's? Chuck Barris
apparently used a mic that didn't have the hanging wire from him. So if they
had the technology back in the 70's for it, why didn't clark use it?
Was it a cost issue?
Knagl
>had the technology back in the 70's for it, why didn't clark use it?
IIRC, Barris had a boom mic floating over his head for "Gong." Wireless mic
technology was there in the 1980's for "The New $25K Pyramid", but you'll
notice that Dick Clark still had a wired mic.
The short answer is that wired mics are more reliable than wireless mics.
Nowadays, wireless technology has gotten a lot better, and wireless mics are
used more and more, however, most audio techs will still take a wired mic over
a wireless.

like the same one dick clark and many others of the time used only wireless.
wireless technology has been around for some time now.

Was this a short piece of wire perhaps two feet in length? Might be the antenna
for the wireless mic transmitter.

ARE YOU CONFUSED BETWEEN THE CAPS LOCK KEY AND THE SHIFT KEY? IF SO YOU
SHOULDN'T BE. CAN YOU TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USE OF CAPS LOCK AND
SHIFT? IF NOT THEN KINDLY STFU, AOL DIMWIT!

This wire was VERY long at least 10 feet.

Are you confused that I might actually care about your opinion? If so let
me disabuse you of that notion right now. I happen to believe that if
you're going to post something telling another person where to get off,
you'd better have your facts in line. This person didn't so I threw in a
flame. Have a nice day.

No need for that. Everyone knows you don't care about anything but your
fantasies involving a certain TV character.

Does that mean everyone should flame you because your facts aren't in
line? After all, Col. Pothead, you're neither Harry Morgan nor any of
the characters he played.

Merely stating facts -- no more, no less. It's a fact that you're an
asshole.

What you write and how you present it are equally important. If you issue
your words in a careless fashion they will never be taken seriously.

One man's chickenshit is another man's chicken salad, and apparently you're

Oh, so this isn't about you, it's about you sticking up for someone else?
You're like the dorky kid in high school who tried to stick up for the
popular kids. Neither Chuck nor I will be your friend no matter how hard
