Finally got to run this thing last night. I ran 24/48 with the -20db engaged for the first set. Second set I tried it without the pad and wished I wouldn't have. Levels just looked extremely low for the first set, but listening to it this morning, I was wrong. The 414's sound sooo nice with this thing!

What type of music were you taping? Acoustic, amplified? Did you run out of gain with the -20db engaged?
That's a big concern of mine, the AKG's are hot mics. (or am I wrong?)
C 480 B comb-ULS/61: Sensitivity 40/20/6,3 mV/Pa (-28/-34/-44 dBV) <--- I'm assuming the 480 has an attenuator switch?
C 414 B-XLS: Sensitivity 23 mV/Pa (-33 dBV) ± 0.5 dB
Schoeps MK41/CMC6: Sensitivity: 13 mV/Pa
DPA 4022: Sensitivity, nominal, ±2 dB: Nominally 7 mV/Pa (at 1 kHz)
Am I reading these specs wrong or are AKG mics way hotter than DPA and Schoeps?
