"It would make sense that the 480's sound good with the mini-me. From what I have heard on tapes and from other tapers is that the 480's have great highs and smooth mids, but not slammin lows, the mini-me will just warm things up and make the low end a little more pronounced. As I said before and will continue to stand by, its all about what sound you want and what mics you are using."


creekfreak,
I couldn't agree any more with what you just said. ;D Before I got the minime, I ran an ad500e.  I really liked the Apogee sound-That's why I chose it over the V3.  Not to mention the USB port for my lappy.

Didn't you have for a while, the MMe and the V3?
I'm sure that in your case with the Schoeps, the V3 gives you more of the sound you are looking for.  Did the MMe make the lows sound slightly exaggerated?  Like it's often said..."Just trust your ears."  I think the best way to spend your money on any piece of gear is to collect many different pre/ad sources used with the mics you own, or vice-versa.

here's the thing with a/d's.  its the same principal as in pre's- they all serve different purposes.  the v3 a/d compared to an apogee a/d is going to be completely different as they have completely different goals in sound.  I prefer apogee to everything  IN GENERAL (not always) as long as my minime doesnt ever catch fire.  :-)

I did use both for a little while, and don't get me wrong, the mini-me with the schoeps sounded good, but sometimes the low end would get a little bloated if the house mix was off.

I also loved the V2 when I had it. I love the way the lunatec pre's just tighten everything up hence the reason I like the V3.

One important item has to be considered.....stealthability of the unit....and the only one that fits the definition of ability to stealth with is the mod SBM-1....that is unless you are Scott Brown, stealthing with a V3!

When I used the modsbm-1 I really liked it. Nothing beats the size and performance of the modsbm-1, but since I never stealth its not an issue with me.

You guys have been talking about A/Ds that are also Pre's.  What's your fav standalone A/D?
In the first category, the V3 is my fav all in one unit.  
As for the standalone unit, the AD1000 and the AD2k are my favs.

well, I would have to say the mini-me, yea, it has a pre, but it also makes a very nice stand alone A/D when you put a V2 or other pre in front

well the ad1000 is also a pre and an a>d

I am pretty set on which pre I like for myself and don't really want a one box solution, if I did I would use either the mini me or v3. The v3 in very good sounding venues and the mini me in places that were not as good sounding or the acoustics were not as ideal.

I would like to use the ad1000 behind my oade m148 but dont because I feel it may break quickly and not be fixable. But that is my ideal setup.
