Okay, thanks for the explanation.

I just figured a single person cluttering around at the interviewees
house struggling with wireless-set, compressor, mixer and recorder
(which might be laptop + external interface) which all need power and
a lot of cords to connect them and something doesn't work as it should
and the interviewee has only limited time for you and you waste it by
adjusting levels on three-to-four different devices...

I think (*) the simpliest solution for on the field recording and
offline processing would be a single sphere-condensor-mic with a small
recorder. and doing compression etc. afterwards in the studio when you
don't have to deal with the excitement of being "on the job".

Of course, if you have several people to do the job you can have a
transportable rack with all the devices in it and one (or more)
technician only responsible for doing the audio perfectly.

Arnold, who would love to be the technician for such a professional
team with their equipment :-)

Wenn man mit Raubkopien Bands wie Brosis oder Britney Spears wirklich
verhindern könnte, würde ich mir noch heute einen Stapel Brenner und
einen Sack Rohlinge kaufen.
