i had a buddy come down from up north for a convention, and we caught a couple of shows. we ran it with the V2 in front, and ran the mics traight into the mini me. the pre is sub par, and the whole call pots thing is bogus. i understand the whole calibration thing, but it isnt the same. i run nuemann KM140s>V2>AD1000 right now, and still sticj=king with this rig, no questions asked. i did clip my minime order and am # 2 on the list for a V3. if grace nails the a/d on that we are lookin at mics>V3 from now on. looking forward to that. anyone seen the specs on this A/D yet? opinions? PEACE
