Baby nbox does not provide gain.
Leaning towards mbho caps > actives > ipa or babynbox > m10 for lo pro rig.
This is what I've learned from you guys on an ipa vs babbynbox:
The babbynbox has one setting but is for mic in (using deck pre). Unit is mostly plastic. Biger than the ipa but stealthable. Sole fuction is a batter box. Has mini xlr and tr6 connections.
IPA has 3 gain settings and goes line in (no confirmation if line or mic in) into an m10.
Does the ipa inline amplifier fuction like an attinuator (what does it do). Do the inline ampifiers reduce noise levels/hiss that occur in small decks with mediocre pres (like an m10)? The ipa is mostly metal but is very small so stealthy.
Ipa has xlr connections.
Does anyone have experience using both units - which sounds better?
Any other preferences or differences in these units?
Thanks guys all this information has been very helpful
