So i got my DMIC-20 and im having problems with levels. How should i use the dip switches? Right now i can't get a signal over -12. The dip switches are set 40-30 down on both channels. even with the sensitivity knobs all the way up i can't get past -12. Im looking for the -2 to 0 db range. How can i achieve this?

i know bean will come in soon

thanks
alex

What's the source your testing on? A stereo doesn't come near reproducing the SPL's of a concert in my experience...

i dont think your gonna have problems with levels, the home stereo even cranked all the way up wont match spl's in a loud venue, you'll be okay, whens your debut show for the dmic alex?
