Guitar Micing question

I have a Senneiser e609 and when I mic my cabinet I have to crank the volume really loud to get some decent output BUT when I just talk in the mic it pics up everything just fine.

I run it through a firebox and have to put the gain all the way up. I'm placing the mic right against the cab in the middle of the bottom part of the speaker.

Am I placing the mic wrong?

Need stereo mic to round out chamber music recording rig

Hi Everyone,
I've been poking around on this forum for a few days and appreciate the level of education.

Here's my situation.
I am a countertenor (think classical opera singer male alto) who needs to buy the last component of my traveling recording setup.
I have my little MacBook and my 24/96 Firebox (it sounds good with clean mics).

Mic Rental

Hey guys! Long time no talk :)

I've got a gig coming up soon that I need some nice mics for... a main pair (cards or multipattern) and a few spots (an M160 or two and something nice for piano, like a single point ms mic). The question is... where might I find a person to rent from?
