Iridium gain boost needed

Post by Jim Hoke »

I'm loving the sounds I get out of my Iridium for recording but the level is pretty low. I've heard of various signal boosters for this but can't remember what they are. What is anybody using for this? Thanks!

What are you plugging it into?
It should output an appropriate level for an instrument level / DI input with nothing else required in between…

Idk if you tried this but this move can boost it 3db which helped me.
Press and hold the ON footswitch. Once both LEDs flash, release the footswitch.
Turn the LEVEL knob to adjust the output level. FAV LED indicates status.
Sweeps from -20 dB (GREEN) to +3 dB (AMBER). LED turns RED when there is no boost or cut of the
output level (the default), near the 12 o’clock position. Press the ON or FAV footswitch to exit and store the
Level Trim setting.
