I did my first simple test this afternoon recording the TV in the family room from about 20 feet away. My family room is like an echo chamber and the movie audio showed it... weak from 20 feet and very echo-y. So far I haven't even bothered to hook up my rear surround sound speakers as the only good sound in that room comes out of earphones. Next test will be to record the bedroom TV from a closer distance. The bedroom doesn't have the echos of the family room.

How does one mix audio from 2 sources to record on one camera?

I don't believe one does. It's done later. May be unnecessary. I've recorded people speaking to an audience using only the lapel mike. It picked up enough other sound to be fine for didactic, as opposed to artistic, purposes. As long as the speaker is heard clearly, all is well.

One source perhaps is the instructor's lapel mike and the other mike somewhere in the audience. So far I've only looked at Oly's stereo mike. No wireless stuff there.

I don't think the Oly stereo mike is going to help.

If there's a podium, with fixed mike, and the lecturer stays put and uses it properly, that's fine in theory, if there's a way to connect it to the camera.

Are the wireless mikes Bluetooth?

The only kind I've used are RF, with a dedicated receiver that then plugs in to the recording device. I'm not sure Bluetooth would have the range? How about renting a proper device?

Doing proper video is not just adding a video record button to the camera.

AG, let that pano cook your computer while you weigh in with actual knowledge.
