I love how they show what appears to be a u89 with it - I don't think I would run my Neumann's into this (if I owned any)

Get two of them and gaff'm together.  Then get a Y cable to join the two mono leads.  Run it into a Sony M10, Tascam DR2D, etc.   Pretty simple.

Would this not work for Android as well? I'm not thinking taping, but other general stuff.

For that much you could buy the ART Dual Pre, and that gives you USB as well
Two of those are still more stealthable than the ART, esp. if you divide the boxes for a team stealth occasion. That said, I wouldn't bring P48 mics for stealthing in the first place.  ;D

It doesn't say how much gain you get?!
