[QUOTE="Brad Harris, post: 90232, member: 380"] You have bigger problems than the preamps for this particular event. Once you clip/distort a signal, there is nothing that can undo it. So we turn to the whole signal path which starts with your first gain stage, your wireless transmitter .... You set it 3 weeks ago? For this particular source? Some wireless units can't handle the SPL of some sources, even when turned down all the way. Next is output level of the unit, and input level of the mixer, followed by the rest of your chain. I don't know that mixer, but is there a 1/4" input as well? If so, on that level of mixer, It usually goes through the preamp (you may have to engage the PAD or LINE switch (somewhere near the preamp gain control), or maybe not even at all. It should drop the signal anywhere from -10 to -30dB over the XLR input if you don't have a MIC output on your wireless. BRad [/QUOTE]
