Title: nak 300 straight into an r-1. any experience? should it work alright?
Post by: heyitsmejess on January 11, 2009, 03:03:19 PM: recently got an r-1, and was wondering if i could get a decent pull using the on board preamp?

Post by: SmokinJoe on January 11, 2009, 03:23:23 PM: I've run right into R09... I needed every bit of gain I had... Mic in - high range - gain at max, and as a result it's a bit hissy. I did it once, and didn't bother to do it again.

I had just "cables"... XLR > 1/8" miniplug. If you had Lo-Hi impedance transformers it would probably work much better, and that will provide you with gain, as strange as that sounds.

Hope that helps.

Naks need crank

Any difference between stock or modded? Both require the same amount of gain? Forgot to ask if OP is running a stock pair...

Post by: run_run_run on January 12, 2009, 03:41:33 PM: its been awhile, you get +17 min. I am thinking for rock and roll your looking at 30 to 40 dbs of gain for them
