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

[QUOTE="Daniel McAllister, post: 116724, member: 2431"] Re: Lavs on cheeks, use HF-boosting cap or just EQ up? That's a shame, they always seem to sound much more natural in the hairline. If you ever come across a particular bad mic in terms of sweat, you can always tie it up in a polythene food bag with one of those silica gel packets inside to draw out the moisture. I'm normally scared to use the B6s on our shows, because they're just so tiny and the cable always seems like it could easily get destroyed by a stray hairpin. I'm sure they're much more robust than they look though! I think it's generally considered that the MKE2s sound nicer, but that the B3 & B6s are less susceptible to sweat. The MKE2 Gold series is much better in that respect than the original generation. The standard protective caps do supposedly affect the frequency response, but I've not personally run one without a cap anyway, so I'm not sure how much difference it makes in practice. Make sure you keep the gain down on the packs if you've got the gray or red-banded B6s, because the signal will be fairly hot if you put them on the cheek. [/QUOTE]
