Hey guys, I am curious if someone may know the best settings to have on the FP24 when running 1/8" out into line in on a M10.
I will be receiving the FP24 this week and hope to run it soon.
My main concern is that I have heard that the slightest gain will clip the recorder. i usually run line in @ 4 on the M10 recorder dial.
I have heard folks padding their mics to not clip. What I am wondering is that just hitting the -10dB or -20dB pad switch on the mics themselves or are they using inline pad between mics and mixer? Does using the pads on the mics do the same thing as inline pads? Does using the pads effect the headroom, S/N ratio, etc.
The chain would look like this if it helps at all:
Peluso CEMC6 Cards > XLR > FP24 > 1/8" (Tape Out) > Sony M10 Line In @ 4 On recording dial
Any help would be appreciated if those of you whom have experience with this pre could chime in.
Thanks
