Hello all !
First I have to tell english is not my language so I apologize for bad words sometimes, also it explains why it's hard for me to read all the pages here about this microphone finding easily answers to my questions .
Here's my equipment : SP-CMC-4U + battery box SP-SPSB-8 ( no roll-off ) > Tascam DR-2D (line in 95 dB) wave 48 Khz / 24 bit
I've a kind of saturation with this lineage, hard to explain with words so you can listen to this to understand my problem

Is it a problem of recorder level ? I've read almost everywhere that NO . It could be a problem of power , my bbox is 9V and some told me a 12V should solve the problem . But on other threads I've read that nothing else than a transistor 4,7K would solve the problem ... i've really not the money and the motivation to take this risk with brand new microphones !! The drums sounds perfect to me, it's more a " bass" problemI guess . Should I use the roll off ? I'm afraid to have a worst sound without enough basses .... I guess the real problem is the high SPL of the show ? it was very loud yes, but this also happend to me at a coldplay show in a stadium ....
So I'm wondering if some "manual" settings could help me to solve this : I mean for example to use the outdoor windscreen indoor to receive maybe " less" levels, or maybe adding several couchs of "stockings" on the microphone to let it receive less volumes ! Please tell me what you think about this stupid solutions ?? .... I'm very sad that those"expansive " ( for me ) microphones have such a problem that could cost me even the same amount to solve it !! thanx in advance !!
