Politics, what can you say?

Glad to hear you pulled it off so successfully.

Of course, you did the right thing diplomatically (in re: mike placement). I tend to forget that my physical size gives me many advantages. Looking down at some twerp and saying, with a scowl on my face, "You think they want a crappy sounding recording just because you're dainty sensibilities are offended?"

In the future, if you use contracts, you might consider inserting a clause to the effect that the recording engineer has final say, commensurate with safety codes, over the placement of recording equipment, and that failure to observe that absolves you of all responsibility for poor sound, and payment is due in full, regardless.
