The pads on most condenser microphones reduce the signals at the very
worst place possible--at the input to the microphone's own
electronics.

I have Cad 100's from 5 years ago, I'll have to look into if they do
that, I 'm sure they do knowing my luck HA.

http://www.cadmics.com/pdf_files/e100_manual.pdf the schematic is on
page
4.


I look at the schematic after what David wrote but I'm not in the ball game
when it's come to understanding it.

I'll leave it to David to support his claim... The pad is close to the
input, but not exactly at the input.

The point is made however, that using internal and external pads can have
vastly different results when you don't know for sure at the moment where
the clipping is coming from (i.e., the real world).

Best to have both ? I see pads on our others microphones AT 4040. . I never
really undestand when to use to or why?

Thank you
