I'm working in a school this after developing SE courses and doing some staff training on ProTools Mpowered.
Their setup is pretty typical of schools in the area with LE, iMac, separate 'control room' between two classrooms, junction boxes in each etc, rode condenser mics, the usual shure dynamics.
They're using an Maudio project mix but have a problem. When hooked up through the junction to the Project Mix pres, with gains set to 0, all tracks will clip, particularly condenser mics on loudish sources. Any time we record kit all the inputs clip with zero gain applied.
There is an induction loop in the whole school which is the only thing that I can think of that may be causing this. They have asked that it be turned off locally in the music department but have met with resistance.
Any ideas? Would an induction loop amplifiy mic signals in this way?
