[QUOTE="Daniel McAllister, post: 116696, member: 2431"] Re: Lavs on cheeks, use HF-boosting cap or just EQ up? Hi Simon, It's certainly worth trying the middle caps (the ones Countryman described as 'crisp response'). The 'very crisp' caps will almost certainly be too bright - they're designed for increasing presence if you've got it mounted in a lapel position. Sennheiser only supply 2 sizes with the MKE2 anyway. As you say, the advantage of using the caps is brightening without increasing the noise floor, but that's a declining problem these days anyway with decent RF kit. I've never found the MKE2s dull in the cheek position to be honest. They're about 3db up around 6-10k anyway. I assume you've checked they're clear of sweat and make-up if they're old capsules? Is there a reason why you're mounting them on the cheek in the first place? Are you struggling with feedback? [/QUOTE]
