Screw the bartender. I'd talk to the owner ASAP and voice your concerns. That way you know if the bartender is being straight with you or not. It always helps to have signed and dated receipts for cash monies paid.

They each have their advantages.

I prefer passive. Easier to upgrade, and cheaper to repair.

Bigdog wrote:Does the quality of a microphone have anything to do with the amount of feedback you get?
