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

[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 9832, member: 4463"] I have some Sennheiser MKE2 and some Countryman B6 omni lavs, both of which have optional longer caps which apparently boost the high frequencies. For musical theatre use, with the mic taped to the cheekbone, the sound with the stock caps is of course quite dull by default. However, is it better to use the HD-boosting caps or just EQ up on the mixer? With perfect source and transmission mechanism, there shouldn't be any difference (other than that mixer EQ is variable, whereas the cap effect is fixed) but I can imagine that doing with the cap avoids boosting any other HF content that may get added post-mic (such as RF hiss). What do you guys usually do? Any other tricks for cheek-mounted mics that anyone is willing to share, please, that minimize the dullness? [/QUOTE]
