I'm setting up my AT-2020 XLR mic for some recording. It's on a boom stand with a pop screen, plugged into my Tascam US-2x2 interface. I've got phantom power on and the gain is fully counter-clockwise.. low as it goes. Singing at a normal level several inches from the mic, Reaper's fader meters read -18dBFS to -12dBFS. Looks great, and playback volume is good, no problem there.
Turning up the gain on the interface to about the 9:00-10:00 position really pumps it up quickly and easily clips. There is no pad on the mic or interface. Is this a normal situation for some LDC mics? Is my interface contributing?
This is not a problem, just curious about it's performance.
