I was wondering if there is a way to alter output levels when “mic input” is selected as source on our iLive T112.
We want to record using our own preamps, so we need signal from the iDR that is pre-everything, effectively a mic split.
Selecting “mic input” seemed like it should do this, but actually the signal we get out is very hot – most sources are clipping our preamps even with them set on minimum. All the sources are fine at the desk. If we take a physical mic split at the iDR, the levels are exactly what we would expect – plenty of headroom. So it seems “mic input” has some level of amplification on it before it is sent to the outputs.
Is there any way to change this output level? I know we can use “Direct out” as source and adjust that level, but if we do that, we are recording post-preamp (if not further down the chain), which is not what we want.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
