Lavs on cheeks, use HF-boosting cap or just EQ up?

[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 116713, member: 4463"] Re: Lavs on cheeks, use HF-boosting cap or just EQ up? I'm about to do a loud show in a fairly small hard-walled space, and initial testing the other night showed more feedback than I would like with a hairline/toupee-clip mount, and we don't even have the band in yet, and we might even change the speakers before the show. I'll hopefully have time for another go once we're in tech with everything in place, but I'll have other things to worry about then. All of my MKE2s were obtained used, and certainly some are brighter than others. There's no obvious contamination of the heads. I've blown out sweat with an air-can, and I keep the outside of the heads and cables clean with Goo-Gone and IPA, but I haven't dared try anything else in terms of deeper cleaning in case I melt something... :\ The B6s were bought new a couple of years ago, and I'd like to use them if I can since they're much smaller (especially on the cheek) but I only have four (and it's a six-person show) and I don't really want to mix. On the other hand, I only have a couple of long MKE2 caps too (I had to buy those separately, since some of the mics came without). The wireless kit is Sennheiser EW100 G3. Not the best, but I've never found the noise level objectionable assuming the RF is strong. Do even the regular shorter caps on the MKE2 affect their response? To be honest, I usually run those without caps at all, as I've found them to be more susceptible to sweat-outs *with* the caps (the mesh seems to catch the sweat) but maybe that's a mistake? I know this is all stuff I could probably determine myself with more testing. I just never seem to have the time to do that... :( [/QUOTE]
