And you wonder why the venues have mic cable problems

Should do.
Try this:
Position the mic close to a speaker, use something to measure the distance because you need to put the other mic in exactly the same position.
Play some sort of constant noise through the speakers, preferably pink noise but some held notes on a keyboard covering a fairly wide frequency range should do it.
Adjust the gain on the mic so the meter is at 0db on the pfl.
Put the other mic on in exactly the same position, don't touch anything else, it should be the same, or near enough (maybe you will see the 3dB difference in the Beta, maybe not, most meters at round about 0 dB measure +/- 3 dB but they're usually not calibrated very precisely ).
