I was always one to defend the VM3100's mic pre-amps against the naysayers, as they always seemed to do the job fine for me, as long as I never jacked them up...
Hi zoinky420, Use a gobal setting for the left and right with your Rode. Then unplug it and insert a sine wave (from CD, or other sound generator) in the left...
... First of all, thanks for replying. I don't know what a 'gobal setting' is, but I assume you meant 'global setting', but I don't know what a global setting...
Hi, With the global setting, I was referring to a setting of the mic pre on your studio pack. Set the right and left channel to the level that suits the source...
I forgot to say that the -20 dB signal is used on the mic pre's and the 0 dB level is used on the line inputs, on the SI-24 they share the same gain dial. You...
Zoink What Evert said is a good method of setting up your pre's to be very closely matched. Nothing is going to be perfect. But for the time being it could...
... Well I think a preamp with a numeric readout would be! If only Roland had designed these pre-amps to peak before they distort, that would be perfect, too,...

... You are misunderstanding my point. First of all, there is no such thing as a 'digital mic pre' (and if there were, I don't see how it would 'limit dynamic...
Hi Zoinky, I just looked at some pages of cheap and expensive micpre's, both for portable (location) use and studio use, but I did not see any one with digital...

Hi everyone, I realize this probably is asked many time, i am sorry for repetition.. I just bought the VM3100 and wante dto record acoustic guitar yesterday. ...

Not sure whether your mic does need phantom power or not (though it sounds very much as if it would do) but the 3100 will provide it. There is a setting...
That mic does require phantom power. "Power requirement: 48 +/- 4V." Now I don't know if the VM 3100 supplies the full 48v for phantom power. My SI-24 only...
... too bad. ... Well, it was an integral part of the question from the start, not really a 'follow up' ... yeah that would probably work, but I'd still need...

Hello Can anyone tell me if there is a setting in the VM3100 to give my mic the full voltage it needs (48V)? If not i am planning to buy a mic preamp.....(but...
... mic the full voltage it needs (48V)? ... There is no such setting. It either supplies 48V standard or it doesn't. Aaron Birnie thinks it doesn't....
