High Output Mics Overloading O1V Preamps

When miking kick drum, or guitar cabs with higher output mics such as
D112 or TLM103 I'm getting peaks in my audio files in Cubase despite
them being 10db from the max of the file. The preamps are down to
almost nothing. The result is a noisy signal that is very low but
still has clipping in it. What am i doing wrong?

You're getting peaks or clips?
I'm guessing clips. If so the preamps in the 01V may not be able to handle
the output of the mics, or (less likely, but possible) the sources are so
loud that you're curshing the the mics.

Stick a 10dB-15dB SHure pad in between the mics and the preamp. If you're
still clipping, you're crushing the mic.

Also try plugging the D112 into a LINE input. You can try it with the TLM
103, but you'll need a remote phantom source to power the mic. Others have
run into this problem and have run the TLM 103 and other hot mics into line
inputs with acceptable results.
