<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>Hi All Simon
Users,</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>We are about to start a
pilot in the next two weeks in a large teaching hospital.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>I'd love to hear your
recommendations for remote mics.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>We like the sort of mics
studios pin on their guests before they go onto chats shows, but mega cheap -
like consumer electronics prices.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>What ideas do you
have? At the moment we are proposing to use a bluetooth headset that can
be pinned to a lapel. It's OK, but the battery life is about two
hours. Ideally, it would be:</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>-
Bluetooth,</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>- Changeable battery so we
can have 8 hours worth of battery on standby.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>- Microphone only (don't
need earpiece).</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>- Have a clip for mounting
on the doctor</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>- Light-weight so clothing
is not distorted.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>It could also be heavier
and belt-mounted, if the mic was on a wire like a cell phone's and then be
attached to your shirt or tie.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#3a3a3a><SPAN class=968383816-19092012>All ideas
welcome.</SPAN></FONT></P>
