The MP-2's meters were off, I'd imagine, at Metallica. The M1 levels never hit 0, though.

Armen, that description sounds like the limiter was on. Perhaps it was set too low and limited just about everything it was passing? The MP-2's (or any) limiter makes it possible for you to take a signal however hot and still not clip the deck. It's a GREAT thing for stealthing if it kicks in only once in a while.

Matt,
Good point. I don't want to second-guess myself, but I could have sworn that I had everything off when I ran it, including the limiter. Maybe the switch is fucked up? We'll ask Schwill when he wakes up.

those mp-2 switches can get switched sometimes and you dont notice it til too late.  Mine got switched to phantom off the other night and it took me 15 minutes to figure what caused the problem...but yes it sounds like a  limiter issue...

I'm thinking limiter as well all though I've never used mine.
Fortunatley those little switches have stayed put on my MP2.

the limiter wasn't on, or atleast the switch wasn't on.  Maybe the switch is broken?

Yes, that is a picture of the bass with other frequencies on it.  You can see how it is being clipped in a sloping fashion, not straight across like a clip would.  They are definitely not clips from the M1

it sounds like brickwall.  This noise isn't riding on the bass.  I cut the bass all the way from 225 down and it's still there.  I isolate the bass and the sound is not there.

here's a zoomed in shot AFTER I CUT the bass away.  The weird shit is still there visually and audibly.

they have the power adapters on them, specs say they can take 9-52V with them.  I've used 48V with pristine results in the past.  

thanx again all

7 mV/Pa is pretty standard for non-high sensitivity mics.

fwiw, it's on the godsmack tape too, but to a lesser degree.  Maybe it gets worse throughout the night implying that something is dying?

in fact, I just checked the end of the Metalica tape and it is worse than the beginning, which is worse than Godsmack...
