Hello Dan,
Thank you for sharing this information. Have you done this calibration
with the AT-3032? If yes then what was the trimmers' final position? I
just tried this with my FR2-LE and AT3032s and the trimmers ended
almost all the way up. Actually it was a little difficult for me to do
it because it seems I'm getting the -5db right at the point where the
trimmers start the big jump and this is a quite difficult spot to fine
tune, specially when trying to make both mics equal.
Cheers,
Hector
