Winter Olympics

Has anyone else noticed that the stick mics NBC is using are all wired? I wonder if they were concerned about frequency issues or if Italy has some different regulations regarding wireless frequencies.

I also noticed that they are using a mix of mics. On the Olympic Ice show, they were using both Sennheiser and Shure mics (and some others I couldn't make out the brand on).

I don't know about everyone else, but if I were responsible for planning the audio on such a huge event, I would want to standardize everything as best I can. And that would include only one brand/model of each mic type.

Also, does anyone know if they're using boundry mics on the courses (bob sled, downhill, etc.)? Or are they just using camera-mounted mics? I can't even begin to imagine the logistical nightmare of laying cable to a slew of boundry mics on a ski course.

from what i've seen, and not knowing much about winter sports in an african country, i dont think their audio coverage is very extensive. my guess if they're using cam mics. you couldnt possibly lay mic for some of those courses, like you said. and the way its mixed, the audio from the events themselves is very secondary to commentary (thats natural though)...

i also would have thought they would standardize what mics they were using.
