Thank you very much. I actually figured this out prior to checking back to forums and only now saw the email alerting me to your post.

Thanks very much.

I experimented with the mixpre D today. I ran straight from tape out 1/8″ to 1/4″ h4n lines gain at about noon and rec levels on h4n at about 13 and got sound that was clean and rich, but might have felt a little hot. But not distorted, just a little noisy (like the H4n always sounds to me).

Then I ran tape out with a -25db attenuator line into the 1/4″ and had to ride the rec levels on the h4n up to 60, 80, even 97 with my sennheiser 8060.

Everywhere I looked all I hear is attenuators, so this seems strange. Am I missing something?

Thank you!
