Yes, you would just need an rca to 3.5mm cable.

can I run mics > mp-2 > r-09?

or just a 3.5mm > 3.5mm TRS cable if the aerco has a 3.5mm output.
.....got a blank space where my mind should be.....

it's not suppose to be all good. it's suppose to be bad sometimes so you can enjoy the good parts."

i have used the RCA outs and 3.5mm stereo out with similar success.  i'm pretty sure the RCA outs send a slightly hotter signal, but that's the only difference that i'm aware of.

It's a new pre made by Jerry at Aerco.  He sent me an email and said I could have my choice of color.  I didn't really care, but chose red.

"Your preamp is getting close!  The die-cast box I use is now available in colors. Beside the basic black, you can have a factory paint job in yellow, orange, red, green, or gray if you prefer."

I have also used both and the difference is indeed pretty slight.  I asked Jerry about this once and he replied that they were the same (but that you should carefully monitor the output from the 1/8" as they are the least reliable connectors in his opinion).  You can use both simultaneously too (I usually use the RCAs, but once I ran 1/8" > M10 and RCA > R-44 for a comp, which it suddenly occurs to me I never posted)...

gormenghast: what does the switch do?  Is it off/+20 dB?  Or 0 dB/+20 dB with the standard power switch on the back?  Also, did you do the paint job or did Jerry?

The pre is fixed at 20.  The switch is for off/on. 

Same exact size as the Nbox--most likely the same box.

Interesting.  It definitely makes for a less busy front panel.  One thing I like about the Aerco is that Jerry will build it how you want it, if possible.  I have seen a lot of different variants at this point...

The "standard" Aerco has XLR inputs and both RCA and 1/8" outputs. So XLR cables between mics and pre (the way I run mine, I prefer stubbies at the pre end). Either RCA to XLR  or 1/8" to XLR for the HS-P82 and either RCA to 1/8" or 1/8" to 1/8" for the M10...
