While I've had no direct experience with either Sonic Studios products or sales, I've always liked the tapes I've heard with their DSM-6 stealth mics.

On the other hand, they link to their own "portable power solution" for the Microtrack...at the low, low cost of $175   :o :o

Gotta love their retro website, looks like Geocities site from 1995.

Microtrack deck draws power directly from an internal 3.7V lithium-polymer battery of about 1150mAh capacity (as reported in taperssection.com newsgroup). Unfortunately, it's buried inside a 'Chinese puzzle' of a plastic case, and seems not (easily) owner accessible. Measuring deck's power consumption required reading milliamperes current power draw from external USB power supply.

Nice find.  That chart with the "missing VU calibrations" is especially helpful.  Wish M-Audio would add that for real.....

I dealt with Sonic Studios and Leonard several times in the early/mid 90's. I purchased a set of Leonard's stealth mics way back when and they sounded excellent and were very well made. Back in the early days of the net  when I was first starting to tape, Leonards website and advice were invaluable.
