Ronin,

Good to see another Steve Morse Band Alumnus in town. I was fortunate enough to tour as front of house mixer with the Dregs and occsionally SMB from 1988 to the mid 90,s.

Hopefully your tech found some original QE line in and output transformers for your MM-71,s. They add a whole new dimension to their sound, and when properly set up, give them a clip point approaching +30dbm. If not, give us a buzz and we can get some to your guy with hookup docs and a few simple tricks to expand the MM-71 preamp capabilities without changing the original design.

Enjoy your QE toys.
