It is said that technology doubles in speed and is halved in size every 18 months. We are now manufacturing nano technology with electronic components nearing the size of the atom. These fast-paced technological advances seem to be overrunning the current communication bandwidth. With an available bandwidth of 30 Hz to more than 300 GHz, one would think there would be enough room for all forms of wireless communication. Bear in mind, we are dealing with geo-satellites, industrial/scientific/medical communication devices, commercial/armature

One idea that resonates for me, having worked as a Sound Mixer for many years, is that there is no one way to do anything. Putting a lavalier microphone on talent is a skill that requires as many “solutions” as you can possibly devise. The person with the largest number of options and tools is the one who will be prepared for any situation.
Unfortunately, no one accessory or wiring technique is perfect for every scenario, but if
