Topic: DMIC-20 levels?

[super-phat-al]

So i got my DMIC-20 and im having problems with levels.  How should i use the dip switches?  Right now i can't get a signal over -12.  The dip switches are set 40-30 down on both channels.  even with the sensitivity knobs all the way up i can't get past -12.  Im looking for the -2 to 0 db range.  How can i achieve this?  

i know bean will come in soon

thanks

What's the source your testing on?  A stereo doesn't come near reproducing the SPL's of a concert in my experience...

i had my stereo cranked and i was snapping in the mics.  I really just couldn't get the volume i wanted

i dont think your gonna have problems with levels, the home stereo even cranked all the way up wont match spl's in a loud venue, you'll be okay, whens your debut show for the dmic alex?
