Slightly different feature set - check out the specs for the differences.  To my ears, they're indistinguishable.  If you like the MP2 sound but can't find one, a MixPre will work just as well and sound the same (I've used both).

Unless something's changed, it should be identical to the Shure FP24 - the Shure is (was) simply a re-branded MixPre.

why is the Shure FP24 more expensive than the mix pre?  i figured since it was rebranded it would be cheaper

the only thing different is that it takes 5-14V DC where the mixpre will take 5-18V

Good to know.  Found someone selling that Shure pre, maybe I'll get lucky and be able to pick one up.

Edit - Wow, looks exactly like an MP-2/MixPre except for the Shure logo.

how much they want for it?

[John Kelly]

They wanted 450, but I've knocked it down a little.  Emailing back and forth right now.

Since both Sound Devices and Shure need to make profit off it, it makes sense to me that the FP24 costs more.  Shure re-brands it to fill out their product line.  Large customers probably are willing to pay more to deal with Shure than to have to start a new sales relationship with a smaller company (Sound Devices).

always with the logic this one
