Changing the audio output level (R5)
The audio output level from the CAP002 is preset to give optimal sound level and in most cases will
not need to be replaced. However, if you are experiencing any distortion or clipping then the output
gain resistor (R5) can be adjusted giving more headroom. Increasing headroom offers a more natural
recording sound and allows for transient peaks, however mic gain is compromised:
1K Ohm = Fitted as standard maximum gain / minimum headroom
2K Ohm = +6dB more headroom
3.9K Ohm = +12dB more headroom.
18.2K Ohm = +18dB more headroom.
100K Ohm will give maximum headroom (microphone level) / minimum gain
