If you run directly into a deck is it less likely to overload?

Todd, I and some friends had similar issues with the mv100 in the chain with km140s and an ad500e/1k

Good point Tim, I forgot I was sometimes running the mv100 directly into DAT and sometimes was running into my Apogee AD500e.

In terms of having clipping/overload on the output of the mv100, no it doesn't matter what you run it into.  What you run it into only matters in trying to determine what you're overloading, if you're hearing that distortion on your recordings.

The mv100 supposedly can output a 15dbu signal, so with typical condensor mics (say ranging between 7mv/Pa to 20mv/Pa in sensitivity) you will be able to record in settings with sound pressure levels in the 120db to 130db range without clipping the output of the mv100 (assuming you're at 20db gain).

Your recorder or A/D can also overload if fed too hot of an input.  The mv100 can put out 15dbu, so you're recorder/AD will need to be able to handle that hot of a signal.  The D50 can for sure (I think it takes up to 24dbu), but I don't know about the R09.

I believe it's ~18dBu. I've overloaded it many times with the nbox's +20dB fixed gain. The HR version is better (~24 I think)
