Just got back from taping (part) of the performance of Therapy? with my new church-audio st-9100 + cardoids
The sound was pretty loud (could feel the bass all over my body). But no distortion!
Messed around during some songs to find good levels, chose some very safe settings.
I discovered that this setup has quite a bit of headroom level-wise.
I ran without the bass roll-off and the amount of bass is just perfect.
Sound quality is hard to judge as the show's PA sound was pretty lousy
But it sounds pretty good.
I also found out I have a crackling contact between st9100 and iriver, but it looks to be oxidation on the connector (phew).
thanks all for helping, first real test will be next weekend
