friday night (12/05) I recorded a show and I ended up with a few problems. This is the source I was running SP AT831s > BatteryBox@69htz. roll-off > mp-2 > MD-MT770
1) my recordings are severely lacking bass. I did not have the 80htz OR 160htz bass roll-off switches enabled on the mp-2, just the one on the battery box.
2) towards the end of the last band there is very discernable static/fuzz on the master tape. And I can think of 3 possible causes.
The first: I noticed after the show, while I was outside and still recording, that the lights on the mp-2 were no longer working. Possible loss of power? I had only had it on for about 3 hours with 2 new batterries.
The second: also after the show, I saw that the switch was flipped to 15V phantom power! how the fuck did that happen? Would this have an effect like the one described above, even if I was using a battery box to power the mics? I tested to see if I fried the SP mics, which I didn't. I don't know when (during, before, after the show?) this switch was flipped.
The third: Could something have gone wrong in the battery box? I had just put in a fresh 9V and these are supposed to last a long time in this BB.
Anything else that could have caused these problems?
I know you guys will have a million more questions for me, so fire away. I appreciate the help.
peace
