Any reason that the Sound Devices 302 isn't included - I realise that it isn't exactly pocket sized (or cheap) but it is a field Preamp and of high quality...
Hi Paul I found this mail you sent last year. I wanted to ask you offlist but could not find how to mail you directly. I hope it's OK to ask on the ... pre's...
Hi For what it's worth. I looked at several pre-amps and in the end found that if you want a quiet mic pre then you really need to look at the Sound Devices...
Hi Philip Looks great, but, it seems like that has XLR outputs though, so there is still the problem of getting it into the SONY PCM-D50 1/8th inch input. Or...
Justin-- Except for the Sound Device products, none of the external mic pres you mention are as quiet as the mic pre that is built into the Sony PCM D50. The...
Hi Rob What then is the option for using XLR mics with the Sony PCM D50? They sell the SONY XLR-1, but that only adapts the XLRs to the 1/8th input, without...
Hi The MixPre has a 3.5mm tape output and a 3.5mm tape return. Plus you can make up a 3.5mm to 2 x XLR's if you want. This gives you the advantage of slightly...
The other way is to use something like an Art Phantom II which is a battery phantom power unit. This has XLR's in and out, so you would need an XLR to mini...

... Phil is correct. A $50 Art Phantom II or the $70 Rolls PB-224 will support use of phantom mics with all consumer and prosumer sound recorders I've tested...
Justin I'm someone who has interest in both music and ambient recording and find this intrusion of a musical question to be very interesting. When I started...
So do I normally, but SD themselves told me not to due to the nature of their output stage. I think 'older' versions of the MixPre you could. But as SD said...
Ah. Specific gear directions trump "normal" practices. dbx 150 is the same - for unbalanced use, do not ground pin 3 for danger of damage... Understood. I was...
... you have to be close to the microphone. This means that the self noise of something like musically beautiful 4060 DPAs might not be so much of a problem. ...
Here's an update about cables to attach a battery box or external preamp to a recorder that uses a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) miniplug for input. These are sometimes...
