Maybe test an new battery on the bbox or at least another battery box from which you know it works.+
Your mics got lowsens / 4k7 mod?
No idea, to be honest. I think I bought them here in the yard section. I know the SP-CMC-8 omnis without the mod can handle about 125 dB but it's very well possible some rock gigs are even louder.
I ordered the CA-14 omnis from Chris together with his ugly battery box. Is that with the lowsens mod or would I have to buy the preamp as well? I like my SP-CMC-8 cardiods but I'm not quite happy about the bass so I've always wanted to give a chance to the omnis but with no luck so far...
What I would do, is sell the SP mics and get the CA14[cards AND omnis], and you'll be covered for any situation. Besides, isnt Chris from Church Audio STILL running a killer deal for both CA14s+Battery Box/9100
I just sold my CA14[card/omni] setup into an SP Battery Box and a CA 9100, and after listening and doing an A/B test w/ my big boy mics, ala Schoeps mk41>KCY>Sonosax, and I really was/am BLOWN AWAY, that you can get such a KILLER SOUND, with a pair of mics I scored for less than $100.00 smackaroos
I already posted to the LMA, the mk41/sonosax source from Papadosio on 11/25, and now that I have a lil free time, I will post the CA-14[Cards]>CA 9100 source so you can see how well they performed
I certainly dont hear a 4k-5k difference in sound, thats for sure. I'm kinda kicking myself in the arse for selling my CA14[cards/omnis], an SP Battery Box, and a CA 9100. I can def see myself buying them back rather soon, just as long as I get my Busman Actives first
