Instead of UA-5
« on: January 11, 2006, 10:06:54 AM »
I'm putting together a new rig and am trying to get a UA-5 to take care of my middle stage.  But, since they are no longer in production.  Any recomendations on something else i can use as Pre/MicPower/AD for around the 200$ range?

Doesn't have to be a single unit, although that'd be nice.

Well, just because they don't make them anymore doesn't mean you can't find a UA-5 here in the Yard Sale section or on eBay for that matter. Although it may cost a little more than $200 and then over $400 if you want an upgraded one. It is a nice box for an all-in-one solution. What mics / recording device are use looking to use?

JB3 to record (gotta track one of those down as well).  Mics, i'm going with some cheap Sampson C02s for now, the jb3 and UA5 will pretty much break the bank as far as what i have to spend.  The Sampsons i got for 80$, not the best, but i've heard good things about them from people here on the list and at 80$ for a set, well, they'll do for starter mics.

that kills the jb3 without a hosa or similar to convert coax>optical.  MT maybe?  too pricey?

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Does it have phantom as well?  That was another requirement.

It would appear that the Graham Patten DMIC-20 has been superseded by the DMIC-24 (only 48 not 96) but it certainly doesn't seem cheap, here in the UK the distibutor is selling for £610 ($1020), I can't find any US websites quoting prices.
Even in the Yard Sale the last one with a price was $450 (although it had had $100 worth of mods).
If there are bargins out there on the DMIC-20 would you mind posting a link, otherwise jimi56 I think you're going to end up getting a UA-5 for your $200.

the ODL-276 coax > optical > jb3 is solid (just don't try to split the optical!) and yeah, the dmic-20 does have phanton power.

though, fwiw... part of me is wishing I had invested in a UA-5...

Isn't this something else entirely
"The SoundPals DAC-20 is a stereo, 20-bit, AES digital-to-analog converter"
Not a Pre/AD ?

Although price seems okay

This is an digital to analogconverter.  Though I wish someone would buy it, it would not work as an a/d.  You would want to use this for playback.
