Obviously the large knob is on/off and gain, but what is the small button to the right of the knob? It moves, but does notstay in when pushed.
And, what does the switch inside the battery compartment do?
thanks.
-
the switch in the battery compartment is the high pass filter (bass roll off).
im not sure about the button next to the knob.
-
My 9100 only have one knob for gain, then 2 lights, one green to show power and the other red for overload.
-
I know that the 9100 does come with an option to have a switch to turn the 4.7k mic mod (that Chris does to mics) on and off. In order for that to work I think it has to have the mini-xlr's for input.
Does your 9100 have mini-xlr inputs?
And yes, the switch inside the battery box is the bass roll-off.

...what is the small button to the right of the knob? It moves, but does notstay in when pushed.
Don't push that, it's a light... probably the clip light... the green one lights when power is on, the other one will light up when clipping occurs.
Unless you got the optional CA-GDO garage door opener feature... in that case it opens a garage door... not yours though... just push it once in a while and it will open or shut Guysonic's garage door.

awesome! I did not notice the switch in the battery box until I read this post! I saw the on/off marking and was wondering what they meant, Maybe I will turn it on if I ever do Burning Spear or someone with equally heavy bass but the recordings I got with it off using Church cards or Nak 100's both sound great to me.

Dam I guess its time for a user manual? I should have writen one a long time ago. What say you all?

I would say yes, most definitely. Your equipment is top notch, no doubt.....but the users come in all ranges of experience and many could use a little guidance.

I second that!

Good plan, Chris

OK, last question.
With the back of the unit facing up, and the open battery compartment toward me, battery compartment open and
the bass filter switch at the back of the compartment,, which position engages it, left or right?
I've tried monitoring through earbuds, but don't have a pair with sufficient low frequency response to be sure. I've also tried recording
some test tone sweeps played through my stereo, but my speakers roll off below40hz
so ... again, it's not very obvious.
This was a much more noticeable thing with omnidirectional mics (CSB's), which had an uncanny
ability to pick up distant traffic rumble, car stereo bass from several blocks away, etc. :)
Using Cards (AT853's) now, they are much less susseptible to this.
