What I think of as a megaphone is just a cone with a hole -- no electronic parts at all. Powered megaphones, I call bullhorns. They're cones connected to pistol-grip mic/amplifier combinations with a talk button on the grip. I'm not claiming to be any sort of definitive authority on this terminology, tho. I've sometimes wondered if anybody's come up with a folding bullhorn. IE: normal electronics, but the bell of the horn is of nylon or something. >we used a megaphone in a band i was in years ago. >we went through several radio shack ones and an >older megaphone i can't remember the name of. >the most reliable thing, though less visually interesting, >was an old cb mic plugged into a guitar amp. >pretty gnarly sounding. > >i came to hate those radio crap things. >if i wanted one today, i would fork out the bucks for a real one... >they generally have more gain, and thus you can stand further from >the microphone, which helps avoid causing the pa to feed back. > > > >> Hello to all- >> the radio shack megaphone i've been using for doing vocal loops has just >> become a gig casualty. i was wondering, before i replace it, if any >else on >> the list has used/is using a megaphone for vocal loops/not loops in a >live >> situation, pointed at the stage microphone, and avoided feedback >> consistently. the radio shack microphone was pretty good in that sense >>but i >> thought maybe some one else might have some recommendations. >> thanks, >> j. >> >> --- * just-john@just-john.com http://just-john.com/cn/rfe.shtml *
