Wedding Audio I Actually Use

Wireless
Two people, clean. The kit I actually start with, plus the backup I bought for brides who refuse a wire.
Plug and play lavs I run on about 90% of events. Two people, clean, I don't think about it.
RODE Wireless PRO 2-Person Clip-On Wireless Microphone System/Recorder with Lavaliers (2.4 GHz)
Mainly purchased this kit as a backup audio source and for brides not wanting to deal with a lav mic wire under the dress. This is simple and magnetic to clip on the dress.
Hollyland LARK M2 DUO 2-Person Wireless Combo Microphone System (2.4 GHz, Ivory White)
Stick it down
Clips fail on a dress. This is what actually holds a lav.
These keep a lav stuck to clothing when a clip isn't an option. I go through them on wedding days.
Rycote Stickies Lavalier Adhesive Pads (100-Pack)
I wanted something more discreet than black or white audio tape when attaching a lav to a bride's dress. This tape works really well.
Daily Wear Hair System Tape Roll 1" x 12yds
Same roll I use for a lav pack, a cable run, and anything that needs to stay put on a wedding day.
Pro Gaffer Gaffers Tape, 2 in x 55 yd, Black
Recorder and house feeds
The Zoom I actually run, plus the cables that hit its combo jacks when the board is XLR, ¼", 3.5mm, or RCA.
House PA is usually XLR. This is the cable I run from the board into the Zoom.
Hosa MCL-120 XLR3F to XLR3M Mic Cable 20ft
Some mixers only have ¼" outs. This hits the Zoom combo jack without an adapter pile.
Hosa STX-110M 1/4 TRS to XLR3M Cable 10ft
Camera or consumer aux is 3.5mm stereo. This splits it to two Zoom channels so I don't sum it to mono.
Hosa HMX-010Y Pro Stereo Breakout Cable 10ft
DJ boards and older consumer outs are RCA. Unbalanced, ¼" TS into the Zoom combo jacks.
Hosa CPR-202 Stereo Interconnect 6.5ft
I use this for ambient room sound and when I can tap a house feed. It's the recorder I trust when lavs aren't the whole story.
