Hello,
Does anyone ever used DPA4061 > 9V standard BBox (no gain addition) > Tascam dr-2D (mic-in w/low-sens option) for taping an
ear-bleeding blues/rock show in a 300/500 capacity club?
What would be a safe recording level for stack or stage lip taping? Would that setup even be worth considering?
I know
loud or
ear-bleeding loud doesn't actually mean a thing, but think "Nirvana" or "Foo Fighters" in a club show. You get the picture.
I'm getting great results with a pair of 4.7k modded MM-HLSC-1's (which are Sennheiser MKE cardioïd caps) powered by a standard Soundprofessionals 9V battery-box (no additional gain) > Tascam dr-2D (mic-in w/low-sens option + levels @ 88/100).
I also used them powered by a Church Audio CA-9100 (9V) preamp (w/gain set to maximum) > Edirol R-09HR (line-in + levels set @ 38/80 (which is unity gain on the Edirol)) with great results.
I'm getting
very low levels when using DPA4061 > 9V standard BBox (no gain addition) > Tascam dr-2D (line-in + levels @ 100/100). That's why I ask.
I've read the minimum level for recording mic-in using the Tascam dr-2D is 67/100. Maybe I should try the DUAL REC feature which consists in recording two files with different levels at the same time?
File #1: 67/100. File #2: 87/100.
I know I should check the levels while recording as the Tascam allows to adjust them on-the-fly, but there are some in-concert situations where you just
can't get a digital recorder out of your pocket.
Any advice welcome
Thanks !!
