Johnno Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Radio mic receiver feeding into mixer: Mic output level high + low mixer gain setting Mic output level low + high mixer gain setting Both set "somewhere in the middle" All achieve the same result. Which is preferable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunker Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Depends on Microphones, how good they are, your mixer, your speakers etc. For example, Whilst on tour with a well known Welsh playwrite, one of the systems I used was:- Seinhiser EW2 (sp feel free to correct mods) lavs Allen and Heath mixerDBX 31 band graphic EQKV2 ex 2.2 binsKV2 ex 10 tops. Mixer was set at 0dB on master, no gain was applied and the mic was ran at -20dB. For comparison a backing track on mini-disc was playing at the time on -5dB. On another system I had to use a little gain. Room acoustics has a lot to do with it as well.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi-ul Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 As a rule try and send the highest level signal (allowing plenty of headroom) at all times so mic output high and reduce the gain accordingly Mi-ul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
