Antoin Cox (DPA-published) advises wiring in the trailers or village once the cast is fully in costume, adding a fourth crew member for wiring, and letting actors who dislike being touched be miked with people around them; after a break fix the rig first and play back to show it works. Tanenbaum and Mooney add that daily wiring is made routine early in a shoot and that actors used to radio mics help the sound department. This is practitioner etiquette and logistics, not safety guidance; it does not replace production policy on touching, intimacy or closed sets, which another cycle-3 topic node covers.
