Scott, yeah Rev Kev is running the 480's with the MME and sometimes still with the MP-2 in the mix.

Here are my inittial thoughts on the mini-me pre section.  Very transparent, reminds me of the v2, which would make sense, seeing as they both use the same preamp chip from what I can tell.  The bottow end seems to be lacking a little, but maybe that is just me.  I was thinking an mp-2 would provide for better bottom end, but this could just be venue dependant.  I taped the OMTrio on-stage and thought the tape was very transparent, and have totally fallen in love with the gefell sound.  Not as dark as the neumann line, and not NEARLY as bright as the mbho's.  After running mbho's for quite a bit, the new sound is like heaven to my ears.  I would have loved to hang onto them for accoustic music, but alas, who the hell can afford to keep several sets of mics on hand without a real job ;)  Anyway, just some initial thoughts, and I am sure I will have more and keep adding to this thread as I get a better feel for the mini-me and using it correctly!  The apogee sound is what suits my ears, and with the gefell's, I thinking I am falling in love!

More later

"The bottow end seems to be lacking a little"

First time I have seen some one say that about the mini-me. I found the bottom end to be the best part of the mini-me, punchy and deep, but then again I am not sure how the gefells sound low end wise.

Well, it could and probably was venue dependant.  I will know more by next week!

In some shows I've heard with mics>mme, the lows seemed a little bloated.  I've got Scott B's comp shows and I must say I almost find the V3 alone to best the V3>mme.  Will take a better listen soon.  The lows with the mme seemed a little bloated and not as tight.

Scott,
I totally agree. The lows/low mids are just too "tubby/cloudy" sounding to my ears. No definiton what so ever.

Brandon,
Did you buy the V3 yet, or are you going to be soon?

I sure hope the 480>V3 combo doesn't sound like the 480>V2 combo...  :-\   Please get us some tapes when you get it.

well, being that the pre in the V3 is pretty much the same as in the V2 I can't imagine the tapes sounding that different unless the A/D in the V3 colors it that much more.
