Attenuator after Preamp?. Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro () I've got a Peavey VMP-2 pre. It sounds nice ond clean on all sources. However, when recording rock/pop bands it's a little too clean for my tastes. Since it only has one gain knob (no seperate...

It makes it > awkward to adjust the level. Don't insert attenuation on the inputs then, attenuate the pre-amp output instead. The pre-amp may already have a low level attenuator you can use. You will maintain a better S/N ratio by attenuating the pre-amp...

of the volume control potentiometer/attenuator. One can get substantial L/R tracking errors from poorly made pots/attenuators. Preamps utilizing digital attenuators are actually much better in this respect. Just like power amps and CD players, preamps...

2496 give better results > than, say, any of the Sound Blaster cards that have S/PDIF > connections? Depends on the driver. If there is no attenuation (or boost) going on the the driver or associated mixer applet, there should be no effect whatsoever...

at least 47 kOhm) and low output impedance (100 ohms or less), since I have use a 10k ladder stepped attenuator as a preamp. This is leading me toward the Marantz. However, the CDR-631 is discontinued and I can't seem to find any info on the CDR-770. Any...

this girl rarely STAYS at that moderate level. She likes to get EXTREMELY dramatic with her singing, especially on the higher notes, where she just BELTS it out, easily overloading my mic and preamp! She seems to think that in order to reach ANY high note,...

DIY Microphone preamp attenuator. Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech () Hi! Does anyone know how to solder up a cheap but effective attenuator for a mic preamp putting more signal than my converter inputs can handle on XLR cable? I'd like to knock 15dB...

I'm biting my nails a little bit. I'm likeing the sound of these in a closer situation than I normally use for tracking and I'd be a little more comfortable if I had 8 in line attenuators to pad the preamp inputs incase the drummer gets a little to frisky....
