[TenTec] Subject: Re: Using Ten-Tec mics with Omni VI+

[Richards]

Geeze... I suggest you check with TT about that mic gain figure.  I 
realize the 777 has significantly lower "open signal voltage"  - i.e., 
lower output signal strength -  compared to typical dynamic microphones, 
but you use it relatively up close, and not farther away like the 
typical hand held performance style dynamic microphone and so the two 
input signals should be approximately equal therefor.  I would have 
expected a mic gain figure of, maybe, 55-65 %,  and other mics would be 
lower, around 40-45 %.

Is there a hardware gain pot or similar adjustment?   Or do you have 
only the MIC GAIN dial on the front panel?    (I ask because on my Omni 
VII we have two controls to adjust mic input volume.)

Just MY take...     Glad to see you found a work around and can use it now.

Happy Trails.

can drive the Omni VI+ fine with using the Ten-Tec PRO-777 headset
and the 708 desk mic by running the mic gain full open.

The problem is there was not enough drive
