Hey all, I have a pair of DPA 4061's and a CA-9100 preamp v3.1.
I already have a PM into Chris about this, but am too eager to hear back from him as I have a show coming up soon and I want to run the DPAs for the first time. I just don't know if Chris will respond in time.
I did plug them in last night for a bit and recorded some house music playing over the PA and it seemed to come out fine, but I am curious if there is a way to tell if they are being used at their optimum performance?
I had the mics at waist height as I was sitting. The CA-9100 was at full, and my iriver 120 was set to about 18dB on the gain. Levels seemed fine at the time and the music playing was not very loud to begin with (hence the 18dB gain on the iriver).
I was warned by Chris that the version of preamp i had may not power the DPAs correctly...so i am hoping someone here may have some additional insight for me.
Since I could hear something...does that mean it's fine? Are there any consequences with noise floor or anything like that if the correct power is not supplied or would they just not pick up any sound at all???
Any help is truly appreciated!
