using cheap lapel mikes in hairline or behind ears

Posted by Yuka as AV

I’m working on a local community theater production of “My Fair Lady” and we have to mike the two leads (Doolittle and Higgins). We don’t have any decent mikes to go over the ears, so I have to use a pair of wireless lavaliere mikes. The capsules are sort of clunky and hard to hide, so we’ve put Eliza’s mike just above her ear, and Henry’s under his collar, just peeking out the front.

The sound is acceptable, but tonality is not particularly nice.

Does anyone have any tips on anything I could try to get better high end response (4-16k)?
