ARE FREAKIN' AWESOME!
Now, having made that statement, let me clarify. I haven't done any real recording with the 388 as of yet. I've piddled around with stuff here and there, but nothing substantial. However, I got curious tonight about my SM7b mic. My (favorite, for now) M-2516 needed an external pre to properly pick up on the SM7b. Not a big deal normally, but the board is up at the (under renovation) studio location, not here at the house. So, I decided to connect the SM7b to the 388 and see how far down the signal would be with the trim cranked. It pegged! I actually had to drop the trim a bit so it wasn't running into the red most of the time. I'm a happy camper! This means that the 388 has a whole new purpose for me now, in that I can do some voice work. Like I said, I haven't put anything on tape just yet, but I'll be experimenting with it over the weekend to see how it actually sounds.
Oh yeah, and yes Cory, I'll be messing around with the line inputs on it to see if I was going crazy or if there is actually a problem when I try to run the 38 into the mixing portion of the 388.
Sorry for the offbeat and nutty thread, I was just excited to stumble upon this discovery.
