Well, can someone tell me how to turn the pre-amp off on the MC60?

Other than the on-off switch toward the top of the mic, I notice a switch 
toward the bottom of the mic, and also a switch on the under side of the mic 
stand.

Can someone tell me what those switches do?

Maybe I can re-adjust things here.

Also, on the ts480, is there a setting in menu 19 (the TX settings) that 
seems to work best with the MC60?

Right now, I have menu 19 set to "off".
