Hey all!
Newbie here with a question or two.
Starting out with a Sharp MT 15 and SP-CMC2 Cardoids. Going to my local converted movie theatre/bar to see a show (rock) and wondered if these mics will need a batt pack or not. Any suggestions? Folks at Minidisco where I bought the mics said no but seems to me I've heard otherwise elsewhere.
What about level settings? -4db from max sound right?
I plan on just wearing a ball hat and clipping these near my ears. Or if the band will allow I'll rig a boom mic. That way I can play with things in the open and not be too concerned about being in stealth mode. I really want to try the hat trick to see if I can stay still that long for those times when I'll have to be in stealth. I also want to see how much conversation comes thru. I'm a hyper A type personality that usually can't stay still or keep quiet so it should be interesting.
Thanks in advance for any help.

yes you will need a battery box w/ rolloff

shirt collar is better than hat imho. At least you can move your head around.
You'll get better sound with a batt box no matter how loud a show is.
