Threshold?
« on: October 10, 2003, 12:59:33 PM »
I use a Sound Devices MP-2 pre.  I was wondering if someone can explain what the threshold adjustment screws do.  Can you also explain what the limiter does and how I should adjust the threshold for different types of music.  Also how much should the limiter light come on during rock and roll, acoustic music ...  ect.  I know how to get the job done with this pre, but I want to make sure I'm using it correctly.
Thanks In Advance
Jason ???

I ran an MP-2 and never had to touch the screws.  My advice is to forget they are even there.  Go by the level meters on your DAT deck and you will be straight.

I figured as much.  That is how I have done it this far.  I'm still curious.  Thanks
