Ok, I'm playing around w/ my new mics. I'm running SP-CMC-2 > SP-SPSB-1 > JB3. I'm taping a CD playing in my stereo. I cranked my stereo up pretty loud. I could hear it in every room in the house. I had the gain on the battery box all the way up, and the gain on the JB3 set to +12. The mics were about 3 feet from the speakers. However, the levels on the recording are pretty low. I understand a concert will be much louder than my test, but this just seems really low.
Does this seem normal to you guys?
Here's a screenshot of the levels in Cool Edit Pro.
I also attached a 10 sec unedited mp3.
