In that case I would be worrying a lot more about my hearing than the recor=
ding. Which is another way of saying that if the AT3032 mics are overloaded=
 (and your ears are anywhere near the caps) then you can be sure your ears =
are overloaded as well -- especially if they are being subjected to sustain=

Please be careful!
