  1. How much maximum gain is available for the mic inputs? I don’t know about you, but it is frustrating for me when I read about any preamp which does not publish this essential spec. This is true be it a standalone preamp, part of an interface or part of a mixer. I am looking for a number preceded by a plus sign (+) and followed by the abbreviation dB for decibel, named for Alexander Graham Bell, the Scottish-born inventor, scientist, and engineer who is credited* with inventing and patenting the first practical telephone. He also co-founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885. It is funny that we constantly use the dB, which one tenth (deci-) of one bel, but we rarely use the bel itself.

    *There is now dispute as to whether the patent was appropriately granted to Alexander Graham Bell, as indicated here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invention_of_the_telephone
