Yep, got the sound pro at853 phantom powered mics back, sweeet looking, the mic caps are much smaller than the original at853 mics. So, i also got the Samson power adapters so the XLR (males) are full sized. So here i go:
First question: Is there a preamp out there that has inputs for both full sized XLR and mini XLR? If not...no biggie, but it would be cool so i could avoid the power adapters for the ultimate in stealthing.
Second question: I got some rec's for preamps in another thread (like the Beyer MV100), but that sucker is out of my price range. I want to get something around $300-$500 that of course, gives 48V phantom power, has a high filter pass (80Hz, 160Hz) and...well, i want the best bang for my buck
Oh yeah: the sucker MUST be stealthable....nothing worse than trying to sneak in a preamp that weighs so much it pulls my pants down.
So, feel free to recommends preamp models that are currently available and please list url's as well! I want to avoid hunting for a preamp that's no loner in production (like the MP2). I'm new to preamps, so treat me as if i'm an idiot child, thanks!
and no, don't try to sell me a $3000 preamp
