If you need more channels for all-the-same mics, use a small mixer into channels 1 or 2. The presets work on line levels too, so a mixer full of mics using the recommended preset will all sound great. Use the presets always. They are one of the really great features of our system and they really give you a no-brainer great-sounding place to start for any amplification.

Think if it this way, if you work at Shure, Audix or any company making microphones you have no clue what speaker your customer will use to reproduce sound with your mic. So you voice it for a "best fit" system (or systems) and hope the market (or a part of it) agrees with your deicsion(s).

Now, imagine you knew EXACTLY what speaker your customer was going to use your mic with. Let's say, a Cylindrical Radiator(r) speaker Smile. Well, then you could voice the mic to create a very nice response.

I hope that helps to de-mystify presets. No voodoo or making things bigger and badder. Just choices. You can use the Bose choice (mic preset) the mic manufacturers choice (flat) or your own (try your voice with the accordian preset). Oh, and there's the 3-band EQ.
