[Plush]

That complement of instruments is very soft to begin with. Lutes and recorders and such are a challenge. When you apply enough gain from the mic amp to get normal recording levels, you also are bringing up background noises. It's unavoidable.

Other than the electronic noise (hiss) I heard, this is a totally normal type of sound in that venue.

You should not be getting any hiss from your mic amp chain. If you are, something is broken or the way you have set your gain staging is misaligned.
