[QUOTE="John Halliburton, post: 90217, member: 8"] Re: Which preanmps are best ? First-was your system loud enough for the gig? Just loud enough, or did you have more headroom? Were you turning down the trim on the artist's mic channel to get it out of the red? Most preamps on modern mixers, even the "B" stuff, have a pretty wide dynamic range. Unless it happens to actually turn out that I'm wrong about this particular mixer, it's not the direction to go looking for solutions. A compressor/limiter might help, yes, if used properly, and if the talent cooperates-it is still possible to overload the input channel. More information on the sound system gear you are using would help. Best regards, John [/QUOTE]
