Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Headroom Notes
PreSonus publishes neither EIN nor any headphone output figure for the GO - not a level, not a power, not an impedance. The gain number is the only thing here that can be checked.
Gain Staging Advice
0 to +50 dB, same ceiling as the Studio 24c and the same problem: a passive dynamic at speaking distance runs out of gain. Pair it with a condenser.
