Jason,
I have recorded loud indoor and outdoor concerts with the SP AT853 mikes (I
was right in front of a speaker tower at an outdoor concert) and only had
problems with clipping when I set the record volume too high on my Sharp 702
the first time I recorded with it (outside). Once I learned to leave some
headroom for very high levels, I have not had any clipping since. I use the
SP premium battery box plugged into the line input of my 702. I have been
very happy with the quality of the mikes.

Yowdy,
The other night i recorded my first live gig on my MD. The sound guy
wouldn't let me plug into the desk, even though the band requested it.
Luckily i took along my mic. It was given to me as a gift by minidiscweb,
due to the fact that i' requested a blue unit but they only had white. The
mic ain't that great; it's a Aiwa Stereo condenser microphone CM-TS22
(marked as a business/live recording microphone).
Anyway the recording is pretty good but quite distorted. It was a pretty
loud PA, in a smallish bar. It doesn't sound to me like digital distortion
(i had my R91 on auto rec. level setting), so i'm guessing it would be the
mic that was clipping. On playback however, the signal sits pretty well on
full (i'm guessing the wave form has pretty straight edges due to the
clipping?).
I was going to buy a Soundprofessional AT 853 mic soon. I've heard this is a
great sounding mic, but would this also be the solution to the clipping
problem? Also, is this one of the best for recording loud indoor (and
outdoor) gigs?
Cheers,
Jason
