pad on class A pre-amps?
Hi,
I recently purchased a Sytek MPX-4A pre, and it does not have pads on it. When taking it into a studio (where I'm going to be at a lot in the upcoming months), it was clipping when running into a Digi002 and both gain stages (Sytek and Digi002) were at zero. What pad would be approrpiate to apply on the signal, -10, -20? Would someone recommend decent manufacturers/online stores? Thanks in advance, Patrick |

Patrick, I had the same problem when I was using the Sytek pre. I bought
4 of the Shure in-line pads with the 3 adjustable settings. They solved the problem perfectly. I think I ended up using them at the -20 setting. -Rob Patrick wrote: Hi, I recently purchased a Sytek MPX-4A pre, and it does not have pads on it.

Thanks in advance, Patrick How much you need depends on how much you are clipping. Shure, Audio-Technica, TecNec, and probably a bunch of other companies make some little adjustable pads with switches on them. Most of them go from 5 dB to 30 dB. Get a handful of them and keep them in the kit. Everybody should have a bunch of them around and they turn out to be useful all the time. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

"Jim Williams" wrote in message om... Scott, do these pads change the phantom power voltage? Scott answered that question in: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%2...ads%22+phantom /Preben Friis |
