Certainly that's best. However, I'm pretty sure that Azure doesn't have the budget for that, and if all they currently have is an omnidirectional microphone that's being used for a live setup, they likely don't have anyone to run sound that complicated. It would just frustrate them.

However, simply putting that omnidirectional microphone into the trash, and getting a decent cardioid condensor mic will make it MUCH easier to avoid feedback.

I'm also guessing that the dramas Azure is talking about aren't highly produced long dramas, but for the most part, short skits. Having wireless lapels for short skits increases the effort to a point where they wouldn't get used.
