I ran MG 210's > Mp 2 > mod sbm for almost 2 years. I found that your results will totally depend on how you run the Mp 2 > mod sbm with regards to gain level on Mp 2 and rec level on the mod. IMO, the base is a little sloppy with the Mp 2 gain ran hot. In fact, run the mod sbm rec level wide open, and the gain on the Mp 2 as low as possible. You may have heard this before, but it is very true. Also, much depends on how you run your mics. Start with your basic XY 90* for this is a good reference. However, even with my hyper caps, I enjoy listening to my tapes with the mics set up in the DIN format. All in all, nice sound in a small package. Just remember, wide open rec level on the mod sbm and then adjust your gain accordingly. Hope this helps.
