  28. Do you fly with your microphone?

    Posted August 14, 2009 by Bob

    If you do, you might want to plan ahead to avoid challenges with airport security. My friend Bill Pryce recently had an encounter an at airport that turned out fine. Having had a very similar experience to Bill’s (I too travel with a Sennheiser MHK-416 microphone), I take the following steps to avoid hassles.

    1. I keep my microphone in it’s original case with the foam windscreen and mic stand clip.

    2. I do not leave the microphone (or the mic stand itself) in my bag. I take them out and put them in one of the trays at the security checkpoint.

    3. I open the microphone case as I send the tray through the X-ray machine.

    Since I started taking these steps I haven’t had any significant troubles going through airport security. If someone asks “what that thing is” I explain that it’s a microphone. Now and then this will lead to a brief conversation about why I’m traveling with a microphone and gives me a chance to talk about being a voice actor.
