Just curious if anyone runs a pre between the soundboard and their recorder. I guess there really isn't a need to do so. I've done many many recordings taking the sbd direct into my R-1 with never a problem. Just wondering if people do this to add some "flavor" to their recording.

I have when I was running UA5 > JB3 . I have seen numerous SBD > V3 > recorder sources too. For me it was easier to get the levels dialed is and kep the cabling simple

I used to do the same SBD > UA-5 > JB3. I also found it better to use the UA-5 ADC over that of the JB3.

i've done it before. just remember to never turn on the phantom power

right on.... yeah, i knew about the phantom clause.
I wanted to clarify, I would be running just a straight up pre, NOT and A/D as those above with the UA-5 rigs. I would be running sbd > apogee mini-mp > in R1.

I've run sbd>MIC2496>Recorder, and have always attenuated because of the ~+15db boost by the Pre.

I think it would still be nicer than the harsh sound you often get from SBD feeds.

When I am running four channel, I wil be running SBD>V3>MT 24/96, synced to the wordclock of the mics>722. Given the choice between the V3 A/D and the MT, it's a no-brainer. If I only had a pre, I would still run it before any deck, other than maybe a 722.
-
I know it's not a pre but I run SBD> AD500e all the time.
-
:P ed need to think before speaking
-
Yes, I do. SBD>V3>AES/Coax>P2. I like the sound of the V3 ADC better than that of the P2.

Back in October to get enough gain at the National Folk Festival(before i was asked to leave) I had to, Sbd>V2>Stock 671.

u cant run run just a pre. a " regular " pre only takes mic in, not line in. ed
???
I think he's referring to mic in vs. line in in the sense of phantom power. Can't run board > pre w/phantom power on.
-
what he said :P ed

the mini mp takes mic in and line in. It has the dual use xlr/trs plugs in the back. So i was going to run soundboard into mini-mp line in, and then out to R-1 line in. I'm going to run that this weekend for Mr. Blotto. I've recorded out of their soundboard before so I'll be able to have a good comparison of what the difference would be.
-
I've been running SBD > -20db cables > modified DMIC-20 > iHP-120
It's taking a bit of trial and error to get the proper attenuation with the cables, but it's been worth it.

When I went to the Board the soundman said "Use the patchbay, I am sending a mic level signal" So I plugged the 671 in and cranked the levels to 10 and no levels. I put the V2 in front cranked the knobs to 60 cranked the 671 to 10 and I was peaking at -4. Then the stage manager sent security over to see my credentials for taping, and I asked who could give the go and went thru bunches of people, the head of all said that I COULD tape IF I could get signed releases from the artist and deliver them 24 hours before the artist went on stage. If not I had to shut down and leave.

I like running an A/D out of the SBD, but I have never tried running a preamp out of one. I always felt that the signal was plenty hot when I ran it out, but the A/D really smoothed out the harsh edges of the signal. I run the MiniMe with a line-in from the SBD and I think it sounds great.

And never use a mic input for a line level signal :) If your going to make sure you use a low impedance to high impedance transformer or at the very least a 20 db mic pad.
