OK, so I searched the archives on Oade, and apparently everyone has an opinion on how to run this combo...so here I am looking to this board! The deal is this, I bought a MP-2 (Thanks Scott!) and will be running:
AKG 391(s)>MP-2>Mod SBM-1>D100
I am looking for current advice around the following:
1) I have cables to run both XLR>RCA or mini>RCA (Kindkables.com...shameless plug, but Ed deserves it!)...I know the increased db's provided through the XLR option, but is there anything else I need to be concered with here?
2) How should I run it? It seems there are two opinions, basically plug in the mic's to the MP-2, basically run levels dead minimally, and adjust on the SBM-1. The other option that I have seen people do is set the SBM-1 levels conservatively and adjust on the MP-2. Which do folks here prefer?
3) I won't have my SLA until after the Particle show (my first outing with it) and curious if (a) Particle runs two sets? So maybe I can swap batts out and run alkalines, and/or (b) what could I expect to get using liths vs. Energizer Max?
Any opinions, suggestions anyone has, I would love to hear!
Appreciate the advice in advance.
Nick
