I never knew that...so could I use my CA9100 pre to tame a hot SNB feed?
OK, here's the flip-side question: can I use my CA-9100 to boost a quiet soundboard feed? I've been recording an acoustic duo (two vocal mics, two acoustic guitars, with everything run through the PA) using the "rec out" RCA jacks on the board right into the line-in on my JB3. The "normalize" program can add about 28dB of gain after the fact, and I've been thinking about trying something else/additional, either by adding gain on the JB3 while it's recording, or putting something else between the rec-outs and the JB3. The normalized recording sounds fine, so it isn't a big deal, but it's something I'd like to try if it's not too dumb an idea.
Aloha,
