Hi everybody!
This is my first post here (after spending some time here reading and learning...).
![newbie :newbie:](/Smileys/throwback/newbie.gif)
My goal is some stereo classical music (chamber, baroque) live recording, fully legit (usually asked to do that) so no stealth requirements.
I already have a pair of AKG SE300B and probably will buy 2 beyer MC930.
For the recorder I'm narrowing down on PMD-661.
I'm wondering if a pair of SCA pre channels (T15, C84) could be a noticeable improvement on 661. What do you think about that?
(Perhaps a Lunatec V3 could be an even better answer, leaving the Marantz as a bit bucket...)
Moreover, no problem for building the SCA kits with a tri-voltage PSU for 220V, obviously problems rise on batteries. I suppose you can easily get +/- 16VDC from 3 12V SLAs with a humble resistive voltage divider too, but as usual 48V is a PITA.
Perhpas someone has good schematics or solutions for a DC-DC converter... (able to put out 20 mA total, not the common 555+voltage multiplier thingy...)
Happy taping!
