[Harp-L] Unity gain for wireless mic and RP355

[Robert Hale <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

THIS WORKS GREAT!

It took me a little time to understand, but Greg was kind enough to toss a
few email clarifications my way. I have set up as suggested here, and it's
perfect.

And I recommend the Samson Airline CR77 receiver for the Audix-V mic. I
roam the room with my blues band and get a lot of audience response.

Thank you Greg.
