Anyone have any tapes of this rig? I would prefer some AKG mics, 391s or 480s. Im interested to hear how this would sound. I really like what i have heard of the DMIC-20. I have also liked what i have heard of the V3. But isn't the the V2 the same as the V3 just no a/d pre? Is it the pre of the V3 that makes the big difference or is it the a/d? Id like to hear your thoughts.

I don't think you can go line in on the DMIC, but I could be wrong. If you're looking for similar sound you might want to look at V2>ADC-20, as I think the ADC-20 has the same A/D as the DMIC.
My guess on these combo's, based on the sounds of the two units, is clear sound, maybe too clear.
YMMV, though
-
couldn't you run xlr out of the V2 into the DMIC-20?
-
then you are going through 2 preamp stages....not good
-
ah thats true. I had attention focused more on using the V2's pre and just the DMIC-20's a/d. But i guess i can't get around the DMIC-20's pre. Thanks guys.
-
you should just go with adc-20 if you want an a/d coming out of the v2
-
i'd definately go the v2 > adc-20 route instead. the adc-20 is very easy to use (once it is calibrated you don't need to do any adjusting) and can be found used for dirt cheap.
-
yeah nick, yours was dialed in perfectly, i really like that combo, what mics do you use, i forget if ive asked you that

chris - i was running 481(3) > mp2 > adc-20 for awhile and really liked the combination but recently upgraded to a 140 > mme setup. i think i've found a buyer for the adc-20 and i'm going back and forth about keeping / selling the mp2. considering the market for them right now i think i'll hold onto mine for a bit and do some mp2 > mme vs. mme comparisons.
-
if you ever decide to give up the mp2, let me know, im def. interested in a used one
