Hi:
I'm pretty new to this stuff and have read the FAQs quite a few threads. I would like to confirm I understand correctly a couple things and have a question.
First, I have a Church-Audio STC9000. It has a switch with 0 / +10db / +30db settings. If I understand correctly, gain is used to increase the signal from the mics into the recorder. Therefore, I would use the +10db or +30db if I was at a quiet or moderate volume show, but if at a loud show, would keep it at 0db. Is this correct?
Secondly, this preamp has a knob which is labeled "Audio Level." It has an "Off" detent, I presume, and thereafter has slightly less than 360 degrees of travel. Is this another method of adjusting gain? I'm a little confused on this one, and the interaction between this knob and the gain switch.
Thanks in advance for any help.
