    where did you hide the B6 lav?
  • It Donned On Me 6 months ago
    It always depends on the outfit - for most of this we had it tucked just underneath the front of their shirt collar, taped in place, and using the high-frequency boosting cap to counter the loss of brightness you get from being under the fabric. That's the great thing about the b6, it's so tiny that concealing it is rarely difficult.

    Thanks. Was it the +4dB or +8dB cap?
  • It Donned On Me 6 months ago
    I believe this was the +4db, don't remember for sure though.
