I got a pair of sp-cmc-4 (at853) with the 4.7k mod from Soundprofessionals. This set I tried one time with the PFA from Naiant, like this: mixpre > pfa (xlr to female miniplug) > minijack > left/right stereo mic. Feeding it phantom power 48v (to be reduced by the PFA).

Would there be any reason to use the mic in from the mixpre? Probably to low volts? (Do i need a batterybox inbetween?)

I noticed that the MixPre 3 II is back on the shelves.
That might push the second hand prices down a bit.

Does anyone know if its possible to use an MP6ii to record cell conversations through any of the inputs including USB?

I tried this years ago with Scarlett 2i2 > Reaper.  Followed videos and if I remember correctly couldn't make it work.

Are you on macOS?
If so take a look at BlackHole Audio routing driver.

They have some great guides.

Nope, Windows.  I am sure there is a way to do it, but due to the complexities I faced before I thought I would ask here before scouring the manual/YouTube.
Definitely still up to hear from tapers.

This deck is amazing.  I wouldn't doubt if I could route my Samsung to it so I could use a mic and headphones.  I used to podcast so I am hoping this decks ability to audio interface will save the day.
