I'm a volunteer for a local HS and have been helping them with productions for about 20 years. I've helped in all aspects including set, lighting and sound.,
jack of all trades, master of none. We recently discovered 3
Crown PCC160 mic's buried in their inventory. We're trying to use them for the first time in their
current production for live stream and in
house audience. We're feeding the mic's to a
FOH mixer and sending that feed to the main board. The problem is that the mic's are so sensitive we're struggling with
GBF issues. The main board gains and levels at 0 and we just bump the
FOH gain to about 25% and the
level output barely off the bottom to get output to the mains. Anything above that and we produce
feedback. One issue might be is that the
stage edge has been push forward so that the mic's are right under the main speakers, about 30' above. I have little control of the
gain or output levels at this setup, any suggestions? Thanks.
PS - there are no PAD switches on either
mixer, can I put an inline attenuator to lower the levels?
