OK, I recently bought AT 853's and I connect them to a MD.  I see alot of people using other things in their rigs and I know I dont need high end things like pre-amps and such but is there anything else that would come in handy for my rig? thanks  :bigsmile:

Stumptown Matt:
A battery box with some sort of bass filter would be helpful if you do not already have one.  Not all pres and ADs are high end.  The deneke AD-20 could improve your sound for not alot of cash.

zhianosatch:
Yeah, the AD-20 will class up your recordings tenfold. It's a combo pre and a/d, used for about $200-250 or so. Totally get one once your mics are self-powered, man. I speak from experience - I'm still using one!

mde420:
not too much you can do to beef up the front end of an MD.  You can get crazy, and buy a MME from apogee.  That has a TOS/link out, plus it's a pre amp as well.

King Crimson:
I already have the batt box but how do I tell if it has a bass roll off?

I will look into the AD-20

Thanks.
