When Robbins directed the show on Broadway, he didn&#8217;t have to worry about audio, but when it came to the television production he did. How do you mic a flying Mary Martin?<\/p>\n<p>Booms were used for most of the show, but for the flying sequences, something special was called for. In 1953, Shur had introduced &#8220;The Vagabond&#8221; wireless mic which was used by Marlin Monroe when she was interviewed by Edward R. Murrow on &#8216;Person To Person&#8217; in 1955.<\/p>\n<p>They tried a Vagabond, but it was not strong enough, so NBC engineers came up with a stronger unit. The mic was on Martin&#8217;s chest under her costume and the transmitter was under her arm. The antenna was in a special belt she wore. In order to receive the signal, wires were embedded in the floor of the set, and strung from the lighting grid.
