The Dpa's 40xx are low output mics.I owned a pair of 4011's a few years ago and they were the same way.No built in pad or soft limit.

I run it on the positive 10 or 20 and adjust with the LR trim knobs. The DPA's need the extra gain...

so are you going through the mic gain stage?

The 4011's have a pad . Inside the end of the mic boday where you connect the XLR's there's a smal white button in there that can be pressed to set the pad.

Well I ran 4023>m148>ad-1000 last night for Les Claypool and barley had enough gain for were I like to be.I definatly couldnt run this combo for bluegrass or something from the section.My tapes sound great.Very happy ;D I had it set to -10 and turned the gains up all the way.I still was a little off from were I like it, but thats all the gain I could get without going through the mic gain on the ad-1000.FOB is the ONLY way to run this combo and it needs to be loud.

Have you thought about checking with Doug Oade and see if he can give the m148 more gain.
I'm not sure what it would take , but if he could up it to 25db instead of 20db.

just a thought

is there a reason not to run the ADK through the mic gain?  the signal should be going through the same gain path but mic gain should add more gain.  or does switching to mic gain automatically turn on phantom or something?

I run through the mic gain to get good levels. The Phantom is switchable. I haven't noticed a difference either way, not like the Mini Me... but I do have the Platinum version

After running this combo fob at a loud show I would agree that for dpa's your gonna have to go through the mic gain stage if its not real loud to get good levels.Swanny I would like to hear some of your tapes with this setup.The place I taped the Duo and Claypool in last night was probually one of the worst sounding venues in town and my tapes sound great.Definatly my best pull at that place.
