Here's a little tip for setting up mics..

set up your mic with headphones on, listening to the positioning of it. Dont set it up, wander into the control room and then find out what it sounds like.... foldback the mic channel into the live room and have someone in the control room altering the gain settings for you as you adjust the mic position to hear what the sounds are like.

Also - if you cant do this, position your ear in the same place as the mic and LISTEN dont stand there and assume you can hear what the mic will sound like without putting your ear in the same space....
