While the mic preamp delivers up to 75dB of clean gain, you should adjust the level based on your setup, mic distance, and recording environment. The goal is to boost your signal while keeping background noise low. Monitor the input in your DAW or watch the Clip light on your audio interface, and keep the level below -12dB for the best sound quality without distortion or clipping.
If your recording space isnt acoustically treated and youre worried about background noise being amplified, pair the RO-03 mic preamp with our RO-05 Analog Noise Eliminator to achieve a clean, clear sound.
