What mics will you be running with it?
Hi! I had no idea there'd be so many replies in this thread!
I am a phd student doing social science research in rural areas in China. Every year, I take a small team of 3 fieldworkers and we interview people for my research project. Each of the interviewers is equipped with a recorder and mics suitable to the place they will be doing the interview.
Because all my equipment must be small and serve many functions, I mainly use Chris Church's fantastic CA11 cardiod mics. I'm going to start using some CA14s soon too. I'm also using a Rode NTG-2 and a AKG C1000s also when I have time and space in my gear bag to haul them around for voice and video interviews in China.
None of my mics are not here so sadly I'm not going to be able to test the preamp for a few days.
I was incredibly tempted to open up the preamp and take photos, but after taking a brief peek inside and seeing the a mass of circuit boards and wires neatly arranged, I decided that it would be decidedly unwise to do so!
Perhaps Jon from Naiant can post some photos when he has the opportunity.
With this particular configuration, I can use my Church CA11, CA14 mics or the XLR plug mics and never have to worry about what mics I'm carrying, or which preamp to bring. It runs on 4 AA batteries.
