Is it just me - or it it really hard to get good hot levels from a mic plugged into a US-122. Does anybody know anything I can do to get a hotter audio signal from it?
thanks,
Layla

I am not a big fan of the built-in pres (they sound cold/sterile to me) in the 122, though they are not terrible. If all else fails, a little outboard compression as an insert effect can tame transients and give you a slightly hotter signal going into the box. If you want advice on preamps and/or compressors, everyone around here has plenty of opinions.
