Topic: Little box and Peluso's

[Tedley]

I have an potential opportunity to get a used stereo set of Peluso CEMC6 mics and caps from a friend with a studio. I only have a Sony M-10 for a recorder so would need phantom power and a preamp to go with it. Anyone have experience with these mics and the littlebox combination? Some mics don't get along well with some preamps, so any advice about this combo would be much appreciated. I would love to spend more, if needed, but like most am having financial challenges at the moment. I would not want to shortchange the potential of these mics were I lucky enough to be able to get them at a good price.

I know Ehren on the CO crew runs that exact combo.  He hasn't had any problems with it that I know of and he seems happy with it.  I patched my D50 into his peluso>LB rig at a Mule show recently and it sounded very good to me.

I'd say the LB is a very good fit for what you're looking for.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the mics will become available.

I do run the Peluso>Littlebox combo and I like it very much. I've used the Peluso's with many different pre-amps over the years. The best still, to my ears, was the Apogee Mini-MP by far. Something about the Peluso>mp combo that just sings, but the mini-mp is out of production and is a total pain to run due to the form factor. That said, I'm enjoying my Littlebox tapes and plan to continue running the combo.
