Well my mic is an Electrovoice 605 so there is no adjustment there. I have
no scope and don't foresee getting one. I'm not looking for peak.

All I know is that if I decrease my xmtr gain.. it decreases my output
power. So I'm guessing ... being a total new-be, that if I increase the xmtr
gain over the recommended setting I might be over driving the rig. I hope
this explains better what I'm asking.

Thanks
