Well I went through my Mountain Jam recordings. Wind was not an issue at all.
However,
I had clipping at the mics for Xavier Rudd and Jim Weider Band. Volume was way up for their sets, I noticed the clipping light on the UA-5 and turn it down to 11 o'clock from 1 o'clock at the beginining of Rudd. However, I still had clipping throughout the recording of those 2 bands.
The AKGs have a built-in overload sensor or some shit, and a red llight will blink on them when clipping. Couldn't see it in the bright sunshine and I couldn't hear it through my Shure E2Cs. Definitely, got to run the pads for loud shows. Same rules as shotguns, these things can run hot because of their high sensitivity. I also need some good, small, noise blocking, field headphones. Any recommedations on the headphones?
I'm also going to experiment with my Denecke AD20/PS2 combo. I think the combination of the 414s and the Bumblebees display what a noisy box a Digi-mod UA-5 is. If the Deneckes sound better, I may put the UA5 on the shelf until I can get it modded. Its not an Oade. Or sell it and pickup someone else's Oade and have it modded to a "T-Plus".
MMW, Randolph and Mule came out fine. My recording almost sounds like a SBD. And I was in the last row of the taperssection, FOB. Jeezuz, I do love these mics.
