Ah, well a 4053B doesn’t like being eaten.
I don’t understand. The AT8537 is not a mic, but a power supply for a mic. I guess you’re using that with a lav and when boosting you get “noise.” That noise could be because the lav is less sensitive (smaller diaphragm) or because it’s an omni and picking up room/environmental noise. If worn on the body, yeah, that can be too far away especially in a noisy environment.
Even a lowly Shure SM58 with an added foam filter might be an improvement. Oh, except when you have guests who know nothing about mic technique and sit back too far. Then, the head mounted mics really work best. Like this Countryman E6.

It’s an omni, but because it sits on the cheek, you really can’t pop it and it’s so close to the mouth that it gives you better level than a lav on the body.
make sense?
