For Micing an acoustic instrument with the V70 handheld -- which mic model?

Since there does not seem to be a "flat response" mic choice on the V70 handheld, which model gives the flatest overall EQ response?

 

Which model has the flatest low-end response (e.g.: if micing an upright bass)?

 

... and, a related question:

 

If new mic models are added, would the V70 handheld be field-upgradable?

    Hi Dan

     

    The "o5" model is the flattest fo the 7 included models ... but is far from flat.  Seems funny the flat response mics are rarely used for live sound.

     

    The V70 transmitters are upgradable, but there are no immediate plans for adding additional models at this time.

      Thanks for the suggestion.  BTW: It would be nice to include the EQ for each of the mic models in the Advanced documentation (not just the one).

       

      These mics which Line 6 has modeled are all intended primarily as handheld vocal mics (where the person's mouth is very close to the capsule), and are thus EQ'd with the intent of getting great-sounding vocals ... which is why the EQ is not 'flat'.

       

      I would like to see a "flat" EQ model so that these could be more easily used as an instrument mic as well.  (I *have* submitted this as a new feature request.)
