Hi, so my school uses Shure ULX-P wireless packs for all of our bigger productions with a few mixed Countryman capsules and the response varies quite a bit mic to mic... Some are very muffled, dull, etc. but a few sound fairly good. Now I assume this is mostly because of the mixing and matching of models (and I suspect brands as well, some are unmarked as far as I can see...) but one thing I haven't checked is the positioning of the capsule on the actor's faces. We typically route the mic over the ear and double-side tape it to the temple.
I've seen some setups where the mic is routed directly over the forehead, and I was wondering if you guys had any tips on how to even out the response of these packs without resorting to heavy eq'ing... Is there a better technique to use for placement?
*Just a note, the mix appears to include capsules similar in design to Countryman B3's as well as some that look like EMW's...
