Hi Paul & Raimund--
Yes, the 10.5 dB difference I got is very close, comparatively, to
Raimund's input clipping level measurements
http://tinyurl.com/28oqaa6 and would probably be closer including the
response under 70Hz. Plenty of gain in the DR680.
I'm wondering if you and Raimund can help me improve my gain spec
interpretation skills?
Here are the published specs for:
(A) RME Quad Mic
(B) Symetrix SX202
(C) Lunatec V2
(D) SD Mix Pre
http://tinyurl.com/24z8hu7
Based on the numbers, if there's enough "apple to apple" info to go
on, what would one expect the effective Maximum Gain measurement for
each pre to be? (Or "Input Clipping Levels" assuming this is a
reliable portrayal).
I want to get a feel for the results being consistent with:
(1) A & B produce very similar file saturation at full gain.
(2) A & B produce less file saturation than my SD 744T, all at full gain.
(3) D producing less file saturation than my SD 744T, both are at full gai=
n.
If this exercise is futile, free feel to say so. Thank you for your
patience! Rob D
