Topic: Preamp for use with AT831 stealth

[Popmarter]

I am looking for a preamp that has visual levels and can be used to stealth with an MD or HDD recorder with no levels.

What options do i have except the Lunatec V3 and the Premix?? I use Audio Techinica 831 mics (cards capsule) and OKMIIRS (as reserve)

what good are levels on a preamp going to do?

[Humbug]

Can't think of one. Don't you get quite low levels going line-in on a minidisc anyway?

[Sean Gallemore]

Besides a MIXPRE and V3, I can think of plenty.

MP-2, FP-24, MV-100, V2, Sonosax SX-M2, PSP-2, PSP-3, UA-5, GMIC-20.  But the question still stands, what good is a preamp with lights while stealthing?

[Popmarter]

Correct me if i am wrong, but if i would use a preamp, i dont have to set the levels on an MD/DAT/HD, right?

The levels have light, so that's better than using an md and a electric small light.

[jpschust]

well if you use an a/d you dont need to set levels on your dat, but just a pre you still need to be carefull of brickwalling your dat deck

I take it you've never seen a V3 and the level meters ("lights") in person. If you tried to stealth one with the levels exposed, you would not be very successful.

[Popmarter]

no haven't but i assume its to bright? Covering it, is not an option?

Hell, i just want something decent!! No DAT! no MD, no JB3

I am to young for a DAT and too old for a Minidisc

my point is that a pure preamp won't tell you where you are hitting on your recorder.  Thus, you can have a preamp with all the lights you want but you can still be way off the mark, assuming the mark you want to hit is 0dB

I like -4db and waiting for somebody to scream it up to the brickwall.
Nothing like the sound of a flat-topped "WOOOO!"

lmao, nothing worse than having to set levels in case of that WOOOO from the guy standing next to you.

Too bad the levels from a MD tend to be difficult to read, i use a dat and check levels a few times every couple of songs to make sure its not going over.
