I don't think that you plug a micropnone directly into a Level-Loc.

You plug the microphone into a preamp and then run that through the
Level-Loc.

No, both the input and the output on the Level-Loc are at mike level. The
front end gain stage of the level-loc is both the preamp front end and the
variable gain stage. The end result of that is that you get a huge amount
of dynamic range... you can't clip the front end easily because the front
end itself drops in gain to prevent clipping. The downside is that it's
phenomenally noisy and not very linear.

The output is intended to go into the mike input of a cheap mixer-amp like
a Bogen MU-15.

One of the models of level-loc (the one with the knob) has an unbalanced
line level output as well as the mike level output.

Thanks Scott, I stand corrected.
