is this discussion re: the 853 clipping issue mostly?
i just used my newest setup for the 2nd & 3rd time this past week. the first run was the Black Sabbath show in cleveland,it was quite loud,but there was absolutely no clipping whatsoever and the recording came out a-1.
and the second run was the TOOl show in SC. and i'll tell ya' what,i was 14th row from the stage,and you can imagine how loud it was, and those mics with the nadys and dececke pulled a beautiful recording. and again ,there was no clipping or brickwalling at all.none.the low end is very solid,the mids are full and rich and the highs are crisp.
i'm not trying to toot my own horn, i am just curious as to the exact reason for this mod? is it to avoid having the phantom power mod done, and avoid the power supply purchase?
i am just curious.
as the AT techs will tell you (fyi) while they do technically work with the SP joint 1/8" mini termination, the were designed to use their AT power modules. they do not hide that fact, the second best way is the nadycbm40s>phantom power (denecke)
i dont see how with either of those two setups these mics can possibly be overpowered.
