New mic, but same audio interface for years (v1). For those using this sort of setup, how far do you have to turn your gain knob up on the 2i2 before [red light on the device] clipping occurs at moderate singing levels? And just to be specific, I mean the Rode NT1 (black) kit, with the pop filter on, singing about 4 inches from the filter (pretty close). Phantom power as measured through the cord is -45.5V on pins 1 & 3 and 1 & 2.
For me, clipping starts to occur about 66%-70% of the way up on the gain knob, depending on the volume of the singing.
Is it just me, or does this seem a bit like the gain needs to be cranked up too much for a powered condenser? Could something out of spec with this mic?
