OK, so I've snatched up quite many samples now, done with the Church CA-14, and I must say it sounds very good. But the bass is a bit boomy on many of the recordings... also they seem to suffer from loss of high end (it has been stated the opposite on this site for instance, that they go deeper AND higher than the CA-11. What's the deal here? Do I need some sort of bassfilter anyway? Does the CA-14 suffer from having the windshield on at all times?
Hoping for Chris' return to the board soon, needs anwers to these questions so I can sell my DSM's and buy a pair of Church... I believe!!!
The bass is lower on the ca-14 the high end is more extended on the ca-14 but not every venue is going to sound great. Its very hard to know what was going on in a venue that a band was recorded in unless you were there. I dont want to sound like I am defending my product. I think like any mic if placement is off the recording will sound bad. And yes I am back

Hi Chris, and welcome back! Hope all has gone well with the move?
Of course one cannot know what went on at every show, and as I have stated before: each venue + taper's experience will determine the most for the results anyway... I'm quite confident that I can get great results with the CA-11 to start with, since I have at least 17 years of training with stealthrecording...
Chris: You've recommended a batterybox with the mics - since I'm recording loud shows (although you still haven't convinced me of that fact, since they only allow 100dB at shows in Sweden nowdays... - but you said that IS loud so I'll believe you ;o)) Which batterybox should that be? What would the total cost be with that batterybox + CA-11 cardioids shipped to Sweden? Building-time? What way do you prefer I'd pay? Paypal?
Please PM me and we can arrange for an order shortly, ok?
Later
