Normal
Re: Digital desk that can bus a mic input to more than 1 preamp?There is a difference in tone and signal level when hanging more mic pres off a mic. I've done numerous festivals where we've had multiple boards at front of house and on stage and the difference is very noticeable, especially if there's 120m of analogue multicore involved too. As an extreme example, a 5 way analogue split (H3k and pro6 at monitors, h2k and pro9 at foh, and a record split going to a vi6) completely changes the characteristics of the mics involved. Unplugging the multipins to the unused boards (turning it into a 2 or 3 way split) made everything sound 'normal'. Even a four way split without the analogue run to the H2k sounded a little bit off.
