Interesting discussion! TBH I do seem to have got most of what I want from the discussion so far, and will raise the mics a bit, but that's where I'll stick, I think, on this one. The owner is pretty keen to a resolve the echo issue, and I think they'll get some pro advice, which will help when they...

Thanks, all. TBH, I though it worked out not too badly - at least the audience could hear what was said! :D Will move the mics up as suggested, and see how that goes.

I'll also try Tim's suggestion - have got a suspension unit whi...
