I just purchased the Behringer UBB1002 Eurorack. I have
tested two mics on the mixer/console. The mixer was
then connected to my computer sound card.

On two separate test with two different mic, I noticed
that I had to turn the volume/db pot up all the way to
get a nice even sound. The great thing was that there
was no clipping, but I wondered why I had to turn the
sound up so much.

There are four controls that control the volume of a mic
on that mixer:

(1) There is a channel mic preamp gain control on the
channel strip with a white top. In your case it should
probably be full clockwise or close to it for a dynamic
mic, particularly if the mic is not used very close to
your mouth.

The mic gain control is all black. The channel level
control (which follows the preamp) has the white top.

(2) There is the channel fader - a linear control.
Normal setting would be near the zero mark, but it is OK
to go further.

That is the white top control at the bottom of the
channel strip.

This is in fact one of the lowest noise, most transparent
preamps you will find.

I think it's good especially for the price, but my SX202 might be a tad
quieter, at least until I turn the phantom power on for the mic. ;-)
