    1 Daking Audio Mic Pre IV 1.1 About Daking Audio Congratulations! You’ve purchased a Mic Pre 4T, a very high end piece of gear! The Mic Pre 4T uses all-discrete transistor Class A circuits, Jensen input and output transformers, and printed circuit board mounted switches.

  • Page 5: Basic Set Up

    Plug a microphone into the Mic Input Jack on one of the four preamps on the Mic Pre 4T using a microphone (XLR Female to XLR Male) cable. If the mic you are using is a condenser microphone that requires phantom power,...

    1.4.1 In General: XLR Connectors and ¼” TRS Connectors XLR connectors are more expensive, more reliable and offer a stronger connection than ¼” TRS connectors. They also have the option of a locking latch that helps to keep the cable from being pulled out accidentally. If worst comes to worst, you can connect two XLR cables together to make a longer run.

  • Page 7: Microphone Input (Xlr)

    1.4.2 Microphone Input (XLR) The microphone input accepts a mic-level signal. Mic level signals are generally very low in voltage: around a couple of millivolts, or thousandths of a volt. The job of the mic preamp is to increase the mic output signal by as much as 75 dB to line level, which is between 1 and 2 volts.

    1.5 Front Panel 1.5.1 LED VU and Peak Meter The VU Meter for the Mic Pre 4T is a true VU Meter with 300ms averaging ballistics. The main difference between this meter and a mechanical VU meter is that this meter extends to +25dB, while a mechanical meter only goes up to +3dB.

    VU meter, hearing audible clipping or distortion, or overloading the following stage in the signal chain. For instance, your Mic Pre 4T can support outputs up to +26dB, but most audio interfaces clip at +18dB. The gain control would have to be set so as to not overload the audio interface.

    There are a number of problems with tracking these very low and often unwanted frequencies. Low frequency problems can come from traffic or subway noise hundreds of feet away. A concrete or wood-joisted floor is essentially an enormous drum head and every footstep creates low frequency energy which can easily travel into microphones.

    to use the front ¼” jack. 1.5.5 ¼” Button This button switches the input of the mic pre to the front ¼” input and disengages the rear mic input. 1.5.6 Pad Button The Pad button is a 20dB attenuator useful when the gain knob is in its lowest position and the peak indicator (*) is still being lit.
