Hello Gents, severe apology for not getting back sooner. Many thanks for the info and yes, your tips worked great. I plugged the 48V unit into return 1 with a 1/4 inch jack, set a blank patch to return 1, selected Mic as the input and also preamp as the settings. I suppose it's up to the individual how to set the pre amp settings as everything is different, but the idea and feed works great.
I have a wee boost switch on my mic which helps the signal, but if you guys wanted an extra little boost, what effect would you use? Currently I'm getting around -12dB, which isn't too bad, I don't want it too distorted. Many thanks again
Regards
