I was reading one of my old Dupree's Diamond News from Fall 95 and ran across an old ad for a company called Black Audio Devices out of Ventura, CA. They made a portable tapers preamp.
The ad says
"Hey Tapers"
are you looking for the best portable mic preamp?
our stereo battery mic pre rivals any studio mic pre.
runs on 9v
$700
Just curious if anyone ever saw one or owned one.
I can't think of any time that I ever saw one of these units out in the field.
Cheers, Phil
