Named practitioners treat wardrobe as a department-level problem: wire after costume is final, prepare the wire in the costume, work with costume for transmitter pockets, cable routes and quieter fabrics, and carry an improvised mounting kit. A post engineer's single-speaker test ranks cotton best and silk and polyester coat worst, and DPA's own measurement shows chest and neck placements lose consonant-range high frequencies, so placement under clothing needs EQ. No step-by-step manufacturer note on taping or moleskin could be pinned (Audio-Technica returned 403; Rode, Sennheiser and Lectrosonics pages were not found).
