Topic: Sound Devices MP-1

[lstelie]

Hello,

I need an unit to record voice (interviews) with a rather good "radio like" quality

The all-in-one unit like Fostex FR-2 and Marantz seems to have pretty weak preamps especially considered their price tag, and they are big machines.

I think I would go for a Edirol R-1 and a mic preamp (the R-1 is usable stand alone for light situation and the preamp would give me better results when size or cables are not a problem)

After looking back and forth I found the Sound Devices MP-1, a one chanel preamp/Phamton that is sold for aroud 290$ (B&H)

As ant body an idea of the quality of this little box.

It's the same manufacturer than the MixPre (but half the price, one channel only).

Thanks in advance

Quality is great and there is a guy selling a brand new one because he needs 2 channels in the Yard sale area
