Hi, I'm soon to be getting an M-Audio 1010LT input card, and I'm looking for suggestions for an affordable, good-quality mic pre box, preferably about eight channels.
At the moment I'm considering either an SM Pro Audio PR8 Mk II - cheap but I've heard they can be a bit noisy.
or a Behringer Ultragain PRO-8 (

If anyone has any better suggestions for 6-8 channel mic pre's, or even a cheap 6-8 channel mixer with phantom power, they would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
