Denecke PS2
« on: March 31, 2004, 06:22:35 PM »
I'm in need of a power source for my AKG 393s.  I'm debating to buy the Denecke PS2.  Any opinions or experience in using them with the AKG line?  Thanks in advance for the help.

Steve

the mv100 is a preamp that also provides phanton power.

the ps2 only supplies phantom power.

what are you running behing the mv100/ps2?

Sorry about the quick change of question.  I would be running a Sony D100.  


I had a UA5 p-mod, but a drunk girl spilled a pint of beer all over my stuff.  (It was 3 days old.)  I have to quickly change to something that will get me by for a Damien Rice show coming up in April.

then I think the mv100 would be preffered. the preamp in the mv100 is better than the one in the d100.

i have the MV-100, and like it, but the gain is stepped at 20-40-60 dB and running into a d100 that is sometimes too hot with my Oktavas, which put out a weaker signal than the 390s. you cannot run the d100 under 4 on the input dial or it will brickwall.

if you do choose to get an MV-100 definitely pick up a pair of attenuators!

i like the preamp, sounds better than PS2 - LT's did to my ears, and it's built very solid, can run for 7-8 hours on 2 9V's putting out a full 48V, i imagine it will run much longer at the voltage 390s require...

you should be able to run line-in and not brickwall.

HOLD THE FUCK UP ONE SECOND.

You mean that if the d100/m1 is run below a certain point it will brickwall?

schwill you can only brickwall the preamp, you can't brickwall running line in.

i've got about 15 brickwalled tapes from running line-in below 4 that will disprove that Tim! I had read that before, and had no fear, and i've got the shitty tapes to prove it's not true!
