Arni,

Greetings from Brasil. Samples sounds really nice. Let me ask you a question if you don't mind: how would you compare the Church cards with your MM-HLSC-1? Just curious.
Take care

Greets from Vienna to Brasil,
I sold my sennheiser MM-HLSC cardioids and my SP-CMC-8 cardioids, because I LOVE the bass-response of the church-cardioids and the sennheisers and AT943 would NEVER reach this level of bass-pickup.

You get a VERY FULL sounding recording with these cards, very "omnilike" sounding when it comes to bass response .
Now my remaining 2 mics are the church cardioids and my MM-HLSO(MKE-2) omnis.

Thanks for the info, Arni. Have you ever try your new mics indoors? No "omnilike" boominess?

You loose about -15dB of signal with the 4.7k mod (-12dB with 3 wire-config).
With the preamp set to 50%-70% of its max. gain you make up the lost 15dB

Okay, so I'm not wrong in turning up the pre to ~75% then...with the +10 switch?

Virgin recording w/ this gear on Tuesday guys, it's gonna be a great show...help me to make it a great recording please

Run that preamp output knob to full. Its there in case of a need to do a quick but yet subtle change like for example if the bands soundman is a moron and one song is 90 db and the one after it is 120 db you can then turn down the "output" of the preamp by using your knob. That knob is not a gain knob its an output level knob.
