response to hiding a lavalier mic article

Firstly, it's stated that if one does not have to hide the mic, then they shouldn't. Hiding the mic can lead to potential audio issues. If it is necessary to hide it then it can be hidden behind or in the knot of the speaker's tie. To hide it behind the tie it can be clipped on or one could tape it on, preferably with gaffer tape. A good plan to tape the mic to a shirt collar, tie, or t-shirt, is to make 2 triangles with the tape,place them on each side of the mic and make a loose loop with the wire. It can also be hidden directly taped to one's chest, though chest hair could be a problem if not covered up, and taped to a woman's bra.

"Ew, that mic touched his chest hair." These tips were pretty interesting and seeing that in the near future I may be using these microphones, this could be helpful. I hope for my sake that I won't have to hide the microphone though. Hiding it seems to just be a hassle. And that chest hair thing...just no... Also I don't think I've ever heard of that gaffer tape but it seems cool. So that's something I should get. I honestly thought he was going to just rip his chest hair off when he put the tape on his chest, that would've been hilarious.
