Hi,
I'm a newbie taper using a stereo gooseneck mic and SP-SPSB-1 both from Sound Professionals. Last year my recorder was a portable SONY MD player with a Line-in connection. At two outdoor concerts and one indoor Bela Fleck show the manual recording level on the MD recorder needs to be set almost at its maximum setting, +30dB to get 3 or 4 bars out of 5 on the level meter. Does this seem right? Doesn't that mean the signal from the battery box is tiny, like 0.001 V peak to peak ?
I just got a JB3 and would like to use the same mic and battery box but the JB3 only goes up to +12 dB.
Seems like digitally amplifying a tiny signal is a bad idea. Is something wrong with the battery box?
Thanks for any help.
