GOT THE EXACT SAME problem myself at Rush last night.
Pasted from another thread:-
''Recorded Rush last night. The sound was truly amazing (especially for an arena). I had levels on my h120 set to 12 on both channels and safety clip on (set at 1sec). After the show the levels were down to 8 so the safety clip did SOMETHING although I don't hear it. The recording had potential but imo is completely useless as the bass distorts all the way through. I don't think its the mics I just think the levels were too hot and the safety clip didn't do enough. I wish I checked my levels more but had no chance as security were 1 metre in front all night (I could have sworn he saw my mics several times lol).
What do you think of the sample? Can it be repaired to a certain degree? I know its impossible to get rid of distortion fully but if anything that COULD improve the sound even a little bit would be better than nothing.
Ah well, my first bad recording in nearly 2 years taping. Quite annoyed with myself but I guess these things happen (plus was my first time taping with my Iriver, previously used Hi MD).

Heres the sample:-

Very strange how the HLSC have distorted. Som, it can't be the safety clip not kicking in as the WAVE looks normal so in theory no distortion ever took place. Its gotta be either the mics or the battery powering the mics that caused this imo (although I could be wrong).
I'm quite annoyed as the HLSC are meant to handle very high SPL. I was about 15- 20 metre from stage aswell...
Chris, will your 4.7k modded cable help me in future and work with the HLSC mics??
Thanks.
