Why would you want to run two battery boxes? is it because of the high pass filter? I would honestly do the high pass filter thing in post because if you have a nice pair of DPA mics its not like they are going to overload. So filtering the bass out beforehand seems like waste. IMO..
True. I've had no problems with overloading using 4060's for this type of recording even with loud, bassy material. Your 4061's have a 10db higher max SPL threshold before they'll clip than the 4060's.
Well yes indeed.. that's what I'm afraid of. I'm using a batt.box/bass-filter to prevent the recording from low-end distortion.
So if I'm right the MPS6030 powers the mics to such a level that low-end distortion won't be a problem any more? In other words,
when I use the MPS6030, I don't need a bass-filter anymore??
There is a big misconception that if you increase plug in power you decrease distortion. This is not exactly the case. Tests that I have done show that the difference between 5 volts of plug in power and 10 volts is about .05% less distortion, that is such a little improvement its hardly worth it. Your DPA mics can handle the low end.
I dont really like using HPF for live recording, because you have just lopped off a bunch of lowend and you dont really know what thats going to sound like until you get home. So I think its always better to do it in post when you dump it down to a computer, then you can take you time have a good listen and make some good choices. But once its done at the concert its done.
You can maybe boost the lowend again to get it back to a degree, but it's pretty much lost forever. There are always exceptions to every rule though. In a huge arena you need a high pass filter sometimes to cut thru the mud... But I feel in a big arena you should be using Hyper cardioid or at the very least cardioid anyway to reduce the effects of the reverberant room on your recordings.
By pointing your mics at the stacks to increase the SPL from the PA and decrease the SPL from the reflected surfaces of the arena. So No you do not need two battery boxes you need one. You can get someone to simply modify your battery box to add a high pass filter its pretty easy. There are many users here that do mods. Like Bussman. I dont know if he would do it but he might.
Good luck with your recordings..
