Using my MT with 1/4'" input and an AT822 flawlessly for 4 months every Wednesday and Thursday night for a local group. Question, when using  the S/PDIF input are you required  to record at 24bit or can you still record at 16bit? Trying to replace a phantom unit and pre-amp/ AD converter with one box, because I love the MT. currently running MBHO603 > PS2 > AD-20 > D8
You can run either one.

Have had my unit for about 2 yrs?, got it very early after release as an upgrade/replacement for my T8 and Coresound binaurals - recorded about 10 shows with the coresunds and the MT.  I've since made the investment in some full size mics (AKG 391's) input in the TRS, but have only taped about 5 shows with the new mics.  Some of the recordings have come out shockingly good, and one has made its way onto my mp3 player as my favorite version of a particular song!

My only issue now is pure user - between the H/M/L settings and 27db boost on/off the MT, coupled with the roll off/presence/pad switch on the mics, I still haven't figured out wich combinations are best in which circumstances!  Once I dial it in right I'm sure I'll be able to outdo my current best recording, which interestingly was done with the Coresounds, not the AKGs (just happened to hit the settings right for that one).  Sad that my problem is too many options...-grin-

Off topic, I'll be recording a friend's band in 2 weeks and am interested in possibly going to an offboard preamp or preamp/ADC - given my mikes and a desire to spend something south of $500, any suggestions?

Thanks!

Look for a performance modded (Oade P, P+, T, T+, W, or W+ or Busman bm2p+) UA-5 in yard sale.  That would be ideal for the 391s.

Thanks NJFunk!  I was leaning that way, maybe a UA5 W+.....
