Hi,
replaced my stolen Sound Professionals S-PASM-2 integrated Preamp/Stereo mic with yet another, since the format is so convenient. Thought I'd get the latest here on which kind of external stereo mini mic (that would plug into the S-PASMs preamp) that can be positioned further apart in the stereo field, would be a good and affordable match for my box.
I'm still having the same troubles with this S-PASM2 as with the one I owned before, namely that at a suitable gain/sensitivity setting for recording , say, a string quartet, the tolerance for double bass is very low before distorting.
Another question- shopping for such mini cardioid stereo mics, there's a lot of talk about battery boxes improving the performance of these mics (bass roll off etc). Does my S-PASM-2 perform the chores of such a battery box, besides lifting the signal through preamplification?
Thanks
Delgado
