Charlie..
theres a trick with the mp.
some people set the controls too high.
so test out sometime gentle boost of the mic with the mp,
then out of mp into a clean line mixer for added gain
before sending to sound device line in.
or say mp out into a mixer line in you might have hangin around.
frankly for 30 buks i dont think anyone can complain.
ps..i once used to work with some people from texas.
(i assume from the tx in your id thats where your from.)
we used to have a big laugh , me the english bloke trying to mimic the texas accent ,
and them trying the uk cockney sayings n accents.
it was an interesting cross cultural exchange.
man could those texans party. we had lotsa fun..lol.
