Kind of newbie questions, but I wonder, how hot you guys hit the
paris convertors for a 24bit recording. I read that hitting 0dB
doesn't make sense in a 24bit recording, because you have enough
headroom available to go softer, but where is the under limit or optimal
level?
The Paris 8in has trim pots on the rear, does it make sense to
lower these inputs to make more gain at the mic preamp stage and
instead of using a pad?
Thanks
Simon

that would be the pan law setting for the eventual summing bus. the
trim pots in the rear are more for balancing the meters to a known
input level (sine wave or other) of 0db.
