I'm trying to make movie nights at my son's school not be an a/v disaster.

The first problem is that the audio rack for the cafeteria is like 75' from where you would have the projector and there's no snake or any way to remotely interface with the mixer.
What are you playing the movie off of? Computer?

Because you can get a 1/8th to split XLR cable from Amazon for like $15. Toss 4 50' XLRs to it and you're set once you gaff it down.

Weird that they don't have a breakout panel somewhere near by though.

Audio: 1/8" stereo out > small tower speaker > wireless lav mic hanging in front of it > PA

Jesus loving christ. :barf:

Now that I think of it you probably could get away with 1/8 to 1/4 hooked into a wireless Dbox style instrument pickup if you wanted to be creative.

I think short of getting a portable PA system with a 1/8 input, cabling it will give you the least headaches.

The amps shouldn't be a million miles from the PA, at least not in a non-lovely install. If their DSP is in the same rack then a small mixer into that would achieve a far better result than that bullshit.
Yeah but it's a cafeteria/cafetorium. I can honestly believe the amp/rack is on one end and the hastily-installed-x-years-later projector would be on another end.

Those are amazing in a late 90s/early 2000s Millennial Futurist kind of way

Actually, I got my mittens on a cardioid microphone and it didn't make any difference.
Hypercardioid is probably what you want.

Unless you can, like, get a shotgun mic and a table stand and point it at yourself. Or maybe a Cs1000s from AKG
