AKG481 maiden voyage. Which preamp? (If any)

(1/3) > >>

down2earthlandscaper:
I'll be taking out my AKG's for the first time ever tonight.
Just looking for advice on deck/preamp pairings that go nicely
With these mics.

I can go

A) 481 > Mix Pre-D > marantz PMD661 (AES)

B) 481 > SD 722

C) 481 > Naiant (littlebox or tinybox) > Sony M10

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

beatkilla:
I never owned any of that gear but I think I would choose (A)

heathen:
Would it be feasible to bring a do more than one option over the course of the night so you can get a good comparison?

down2earthlandscaper:
Usually I love to switch things around at set breaks etc to run comps,
However tonight is kind of special in that they're doing a documentary on the artist and running three cameras
so I think it would be best to pick one combo and stick with it for the whole night because they are
likely going to sync my audio with their video in post.

I will be running at least one (if not two) other sets of mics to make sure I have a back up and that at least one of the 2 (or 3)
sources will be really good.

vanark:
I would not hesitate to run straight into the 722.
