Hi Everyone,
Re the Art Pro-Audio "USB Dual Tube Pre" preamp: When I plug my shure 57 (micing my guitar amp) into the LEFT input of the unit I can get a decent signal from my DAW speakers. But when I plug it into the RIGHT input the signal is extremely weak, almost non detectable (the green signal light comes on when I play something however, so it seems like the signal is being picked up). Same cable is used in both input tests. I thought the SM 57 did not need phantom power, so I'm confused as to why I can't get a decent signal when I use the RIGHT input (which I'm thinking doesn't have phantom power, although I might be wrong on that, the phantom power might be for both left and right inputs, I'm not sure)
The unit's manual is here: http://artproaudio.com/downloads/owners_manuals/om_usbdualtubepre.pdf
Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks!
