thanks for help....I had been running CA-11s (cards) with the 9000, just recently grabbed a pair of CA-14s (cards) and have run those 3 times now. You guys definitely seem to know the ins and outs on this stuff, so just curious - what is the "best" way to run my preamp with those mics?
I have typically been running the follwings:
9000 preamp at +30 db -> Edirol r-09hr mic gain at LOW, input setting at 50 (of 100) .... I then adjust the preamp knob to give a healthy signal.
I have often wondered if I would gain anything quality-wise if I
(1) stay at +30, max out the pre-amp knob and dial down the Edirol settings
OR
(2) go to higher Edirol settings and drop the preamp down to +10 db
any opinons?
btw, i have had my 11s for about 4 years now and I have been very satisfied with all of the equipment - really sounds great
