OADE m248 by the numbers

If units, I’m shocked by how low that number is considering how incredible the unit performs. I have a 248 w external battery mod, not done much in 20+ years but just started getting back. Love the recordings I made w/ 248 way back when. Where do people rank vs other external / internal preamps these days? I just got a zoom f6 for the extra inputs and 32 bit float, but wondering how people think 248 preamp compares to the internal f6? Thanks Oade Bros for all the help and memories along the way.

Zoom's internals are OK not bad but not great...the 248 is definitely a better sounding preamp. I'm still a big fan of my m118 which I've owned for many many moons, but don't take it out much at all anymore. Course I haven't recorded anything since pandemic started...that's about to change though.

Doug told me in a recent email that he doesn't care for the SD mic preamps. Says they are fine for line in though.
MakersMarc:
interesting. I was never a fan of the 7XX preamps, but i really like the MP series pres.

George Heston once gave me his brick at DelFest to be charged. This reminds me, I have to get him the number to my back doctor. :lol:

How much do these things weigh? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen one in person.
