A friend just got a new pair of mics. He got the AT's are 853 XR's(they are hanging mics with a body and have 25' XLR cables.) What's the reasonable reccomendation for a preamp around $300? I suggested a mixpre/mp2/fp24 Any others? He'll be running AT -> preamp -> MD
What about good old UA5?!

One of Church's pres would do well, for well within that budget.
Edit: whoops, forgot the RXs have the phantom modules hard-wired.

And with the UA-5, couldn't you go optical-in to the MD? Avoid the MD A/D, and just worry about setting levels at one spot instead of two . . .
AT853RX > Denecke PS-2 > Denecke AD20
Made sick recordings with this setup. You can get the Denecke combo for $300 or less. :coolguy:

nothing a small phillips screwdriver cant take care of, they arent exactly hard wired
853s>MP-2 is a great sounding combo.
All you guys thanks for helping me with this, I am getting the mv-100, but all that advice was much appreciated...now for a stand???? Pat
