PH 48> attenuators maybe?>AD20
« on: March 28, 2005, 12:12:03 PM »
Saturday night I ran the new to me MBHO's for the first time, with some nice results but one thing I did notice was that the signal from the 603's was much hotter than with the NAK 300's.
Yes, I have read that the 300's do not push a very strong signal, and the AD20 did help immensely, but with the MBHO's I had to turn the knobs all the way down to avoid some serious distortion!
All I had to do was up the gain even a wee bit and the levels were through the roof so to speak.
So I guess my question is, should I try running attenuators between the BPS and the AD20 to tone down some of the signal so I can open up the AD20 a bit more?

With the AD20's inherent gain, I am planning on purchasing a new pre-amp but in the meantime what do you think?

Yup... Shure A-15S is whatcha gonna need, I believe.  I needed attenuators w/ every setup involving the AD-20 I had.  AD-20 has +17db of gain even when the knobs are turned down.

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.
