My current setup is a Rode N-T1A connected to an M-Audio AudioBuddy preamp and then into a BOSS BR-600.
The problem I am having is that with my Rode connect to my AudioBuddy, I only had to turn up the gain by very little...(and I mean very little....less than a 2mm turn) before the signal peaks and clips on the preamp. I was told by a sales guy that it's because it's a poorly designed premap that has no "headroom". He said it's mainly designed for dynamic mics.
Is this true? Is this normal on a cheap preamp?
