Topic: Aerco MP-2 Information > $750 new & 1 Month Lead Time

Bump this back up for an addition.

Taped a bunch of times with my brand new Aerco until
2 weeks ago when it was dead. Sent back to Jerry and he fixed it and sent
it back in less than a week, no charge!

Since i ripped him here for taking too long on building mine,
i now want to commend him on great customer service!!

His product is fantastic, one of the best sounding small pre out there

Mine will have both channel gain on left knob and
both channel 10 db trim on the right knob.
 

This is how mine is too.
I bought a used one that was cosmetically lacking, and sent it in to Jerry.

He changed the gain structure to be like the above (except my trim is something like 18dB swing), put it in a new case, changed all the connectors & power switch, and best of all...he added an external phantom power switch on the side of the box!  No more having to take the top off to switch the phantom jumpers.

I haven't used mine enough since he sent it back to me though.

Best sounding portable preamp I've heard!

finally got to run mine in Vegas last weekend for DMB

very happy with the way it sounds 

I'll post some samples later, even though it's DMB

Hey I'd love to check that show out...

Haven't heard or seen DMB for a couple years now.
You ran the Aerco with the Schoeps?

Thanks Crumbo, starting to download it now.

Sent my Aerco in to have the gain lowered. It started at 20dB and I send it in to start at 5dB and go up by increments of 5. Got an email from Jerry this morning and he's sending it out. Hopefully I'll have it tomorrow so I can run Sunday at a local joint and then Tuesday for NIN/JA. Took about a month and a half, but hey, it's all good!

I'm thinking of selling my custom Aerco MP-2 if anyone on here is interested...

Why not.

Although it's hard to lay off the V3 and use the aerco instead, i have never made a bad tape with
the aerco. It's really a great pre and it runs off external battery power. Love mine.

[spyder9]

I run mine with a Tekkeon battery.  Picked the bat up a few weeks ago.  I have Wanee next weekend.  It will be interesting to see how long it takes Aerco to drain it.  I'm gonna feed it 12v, for the Nak 1k's are power hungry.
