oh..and fwiw, it fits standing up in my CAYIN II mtnsmth lumbar pack.  its tall, and stands up taller than anything else in the bag..but I can still zip it closed.
this is w/all the wires plugged in (RA neutriks that it is sitting on basically)

You mean CAIRN II, right? Or maybe it's a different bag...

[Nick's Picks]

nope, you're right.
cairn II.  just a different translation of memory.

Just grabbed me one off Fleabay for 580 shipped.  Hey Nick.  I can use the ESI batteries for this right?  I have 3 of the 6000's.  What cables do I need for that?  Will the ratshcak stuff work?  What ends?  Thanks!

M tip+
ESI batteries, as long as they are anywhere between 6 to 12v, you're golden.
600mAh will run it for 6 hours plus.
great price! +T

the power switch has two on settings, on is M-S, which outputs a normal stereo signal that you can adjust mid or side volume via the gain knobs,
or the STereo setting, which is just normal left/right. 

leaving it in ST mode while recording MS will output raw MS signals to be mixed in post.

or, am I not getting the question?

I was looking for some sample recordings in a most confusing way.
Actually, I'd love to hear an LSD2 into a MiniMP M-S vs. X-Y

The MiniMP doesn't have a compressor or limiter either, does it?

[Nick's Picks]

nope..none of that

I have MINI MP and Me. I just used them for 6 month Me as AD, MP as pre. Today I made some soundtest in Mono.

I found the the difference from the 2 Apogee`s is small.
The MP has a bit more definition in the Presence ( computer harddrives whine 4 meters away in the back of the 2 miks ) and a little bit less noise than the Me. Me is a bit brighter, this is hearable with FM Radio noise.
The case of the MP is getting hotter than the ME.

Tested with channels swapped 2 times: Neuman TL 103 and 2 AT 3031 stock.

I bet running an AD500e behind this would be awesome.

I was thinking of maybe grabbing a MiniMP.

Seems reasonable.  $727.00 shipped.

But I'm also kicking around getting a 4 channel Sytek w/ Burr Brown mods.   I like the looks of the Apogee Mini products.

You should PM frank at Cascade. He'll beat that price.

i am really enjoying this box behind my MBHO's!  it's ergonomics suck but i had a laptop backpack i got for free from IBM when I worked there that holds the Mini-MP nicely in a target rack.  i just need to switch out the right-angle XLR'x I was using for the V3 to straight-angled ones!

I've been saying this since 2003.  The Ho's go great with an apogee....I was thinking about picking up a Mp to put in front of the minime....but I may pick up some ADKtl's insted....not sure yet....
