Title: Phantom/Pre-Amp for MT 24/96
Post by: bayouav on November 10, 2006, 12:23:10 PM: Looking to replace some gear with an all-in-one solution for phantom power (MBHO 603's) and preamp/A>D converter that will provide SPDIF to the MT. appreciate any opinions/suggestions.

UA5 w/ the Busman mods

Agreed - modified Edirol UA-5 for your budget. GREAT sound / value for the price. Busman or Oade Warm / Presence / Transparent mod, depending on what sound you like. If it was me, I'd go with an Oade Warm mod if you can find one, as I think it will match well with the bright-ish MBHOs. Check the YS, I think there are a couple UA5's for sale currently.

Try a Search for "Fast Track" and restrict the results to this forum - may be a couple threads about it.

I agree ;D the UA-5 listed above would make a perfect pre/AD for those HO's and the MT!

Post by: gorlando on November 15, 2006, 04:23:30 AM: Why not the Coresound mic2496? I just bought it for the same use (with the MT) so I have not tested it yet, but on the paper should do all (phantom power, pre and A/D).
I'd like to have any opinion on this subject.

I've been using the Fast Track Pro for two months now and have been quite happy with it. A bargain at $200!
