Whaddya think? |
A pretty high output from my BG8 for most location purposes, so much so that I'm often running at 0 or first notch only of gain on the DAV even for quiet chamber music concerts. So if you have a sensitive next item after the BG8 in your signal chain you may need to use the pads frequently. Great sound, not clinical or transparent but plenty of weight and realism...it doesn't sound thin or veiled or coloured to my ears. I'm curious tho...why a Y ? It doesn't generate much heat at all, there's no fan and no need for one. It would probably do justice to even quiet mics such as low output ribbons, if that's a direction you'd like to move in ?
