I am playing with the SSM2141 and SSM2142. I will use them together
to balance my MKH-110's and also I hope a single SSM2141 for the ME-
62's. I do have extras in small quantities I am selling at cost as I
had to order a small pile of them to get to minimum order. I would
also trade for small quantities of Canare Mic cable, low profile,
star quad. I believe this is still mic level but it would not be a
bad thing for a MZ-R50 to be line level. Tell me if I am missing
something. The only downside is that it appears to need a dual
supply voltage meaning two batteries.
