My friend's MD just died. I suggested she look into the mobile-pre because she has a laptop and it would be a lot cheaper than picking up a JB3 or similar device.
Had anyone field tested one of those? Any problems?
I would tell her to get a UA5 but that's pretty much out of her price range.

what is the price tag on the m-audio mobile-pre?
in general the m audio products are pretty good...
-
$150 new
-
does she need preamps or is just looking for something to use as an interface(for patching) to the laptop?
-
actually, she said she's gonna go with the njb3. I just suggested it to her as a cheaper alternative.

I own a MobilePre....
In loud concert settings, it does a pretty decent job (rock shows, small clubs, etc.).
I've also used it to record a couple of classical/wind ensemble concerts - not very good in those situations. The mic pre's are a bit noisy and give you a not-so-nice hiss if you try to boost the gain/volume.
Hope that helps!
