Re: Recording Level using Audacity and a Multiface card

No, the relevant part of the specs is not the gain. Just because you dont read "microphone preamplifier" anywhere or "60 dB gain" does not mean it is not producing line level outputs.

The relevent part of the specs is:

LINEAR OUTPUT VOLTAGE 10 volts pk-pk (3.535 V rms) or greater.

Consumer equipment line-level requires 0.316 V RMS and professional equipment line-level requires 1.228 V RMS. The link I posted provides the required levels for a line-level input device (from my previous posts, you will see that it works fine for other line-level input devices).

I did look at the specs! Maybe you posted the wrong link? What I'm
looking at has nothing in common with a mic preamp, except that
it provides some gain.

Some relevant excerpts :
"Endevco model 4416B Battery Powered ISOTRON Conditioner"
... "is a small, battery-operated, low noise signal conditioner for use
with ISOTRON or other piezoelectric voltage mode transducers."
...
"TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS
GAIN		1 or 10 selectable"
...
"CONNECTIONS	BNC for both Input and Output"

To misuse Magritte: Leci n'est pas une microphone preamplifier.

Did you maybe post the wrong link?
