Re: Kent's 1-minute Test

Re: getting rid of static

Basically, I'm a Silicon Valley gearhead who just loves to spend money on cool stuff, but I think I'm done now. The E100S is an excellent mic. I tried a TLM103 a number of years ago, and while it s...

Re: test_Jinsoo

Welcome Jinsoo As I understand it, the positive dB scale was adopted because LV volunteers generally understood it better than the standard 0 to -100dB scale.
