Does anyone know of a way to reduce the sensitivity of the mic, ie. for concerts?
Is there an App that will do this?

All my searches have come up with nothing.

The only way to effectively attenuate a condenser microphone is to add a resistor or to shunt current across the leads with a capacitor. You could reduce the level of the mic input at the mixer, but the mic pre-amp is probably already overdriven at that point and you'll still get distorted audio at the input.

Try physically attenuating it (stuffing a cotton ball in it).
