Hi--
Possibly (?) the price break in a quality phantom powered pre we've
been waiting for with 24 bit A->D thrown in:
Stereo mic in w/phantom power, 24bit A-> D!, lower power
requirements, analog outs,.. Steel, really versatile, see link. Can
use in the field with MD using dummy USB power supply or add to your
usb laptop.
My main question is mic gain; the lower cost unit have not provided
what we need in the field. It would be great if the gain was 60-65dB.
