I'm working to make a stereo 3M tube machine into a mic pre/compressor limiter. I've been searching for the best way to take audio out of the machine and have determined that the signal being used to send audio to the tape head is the most isolated, and has the least amount of crosstalk between the two channels. The level coming from that output is too hot. Any audio signal, unless heavily padded, registers as a peak on my mic pres. I don't have variable control over the signal either. What standard signal level is used to send audio to a tape head, and what can I do, aside from padding the signal, to get the signal into something that I can use?
