Title: New ADK Preamp!
Post by: drewloo on January 30, 2004, 03:03:56 AM: Sorry if this is old news but I was poking around the ADK site and saw this on the accessories page:

Flight Cases

ADK Offers Three Levels of Flight Cases. Our Standard Case is a small Aluminum Flight Case. Our Deluxe Case (shown below) is a Full-Size Flight Case with plenty of room for extra cables (made to fit our upcoming Pre-Amps!).

I wonder if they mean external preamps (like a V2, 148, etc) or if they mean mic preamp bodies. Guess we'll just have to ask JP on the ADK forum. I'd be really interested to check it out if it's an external pre given ADK's track record on mics. Not that we like new toys or anything like that around these here parts. ;)

We're still working on that...

It will probably be a high quality solid state unit, don't expect a sub 200$ price here....

Keep checking the Forum once in a while, I'll start a "new and forthcoming products" Topic soon!

Nice! Sounds like it's going to be a while, though. Wonder if they need any volunteer beta testers... ;D

well if these new flight cases are made to fit the preamp then my guess would be yes. :)

Portable, but I do not think they will be DC powerable.

Post by: drewloo on February 01, 2004, 07:52:16 PM: Mike asked if it'll be portable/DC powered and JP said he'll see what he can do about including a low voltage DC PS connector, but it doesn't sound like it's a primary concern at this point.

I have spoken a lot with JP. There are no plans to make any DC powerable gear at the moment.
