Best pre/ad for AKG 391's

(1/3) > >>

geoff piper:
Well now that I have a set of mics finnally I'm looking at Pre's and AD's next. So far ive heard Mp-2>adc-20, UA-5, and Mp-2>MSBM-1... My question is which would give me the best results with the akg's 391's. Also any other options. Thanks

I ran ps-2> ad-20 once. It sound real thin on the low end. I can send you a tape if you'd like. I just sold that stuff off and picked up a digi mod ua-5. I will be sending it back off next month for the warm mod. Ill let you know how it sounds thursday morning.

trust your ears...here are a couple examples:

First a couple with no preamp, just using phantom power and transformers for a bit of gain:

AKG 391s->B-18s->AT CP8201->Oade mod SBM1->D100

AKG 391s->B-18s->AT CP8201->24 bit mod SBM1->D100

And a couple with the MP-2->SBM combo.

AKG 391s > MP-2 > Oade Mod SBM1 > D100

Cast Iron Filter
Matrix: (AUD): AKG 391s->MP-2->Oade mod SBM1->D100; (SBD): SBD->MiniMe->D8
(not a great example due to the SBD, but a nice freaking show!)
