It's a very strange gain structure. There is what I understand to be an "input gain" labeled "Mic Sensitivity" and it has "-35, -55 and -70" positions, in order of least to most gain. But I have no idea how much gain it adds. Then there is output gain, which is 0, +6 or +12.
They recommend setting the gain so that you're not overloading, then do a fine adjustment with the recorder, or in TaperBryan's case, the V3.
I was actually thinking of doing the same thing (ie., PSP-2 > V3)
mics>psp2>line-in on dr07
this would DEF be a much lighter rig!!
what's the max out on the psp2? Isn't it something monstrous like +28dbu? The DR-07's max line-in is only around +8dbu, so if the psp2 is expecting to send a ton of signal downstream, you may/will brickwall the recorder. I remember looking at grayp's rig at charlottesville when we met (he was using your psp2, right? it was someone else's) and his second set peaked around -4db or so but the gain on the 722 was turned all the way down (so it was peaking around +20dbu or so out of the psp2). I don't know how the gain structure on the psp2 works, so maybe you can turn it down there (I didn't see anything when I saw it in cville), but I suspect you'll have to do something more then just hooking everything up.
