Actually you could, put the MP-2 into MS decoding, plug the mic into the
left channel (like it was the mid). Crank the other channel to zero and
adjust the gain with the left channel control. It will come out on both
channels evenly.
I'm also disappointed, and glad I already got one. I bought for the M/S
decoder, so the mixpre is not even in the running. I also have no use
for USB in field recording. I'm not about to suffer with a laptop out there.
Had they priced it a little lower they would have had lots of sales. I'm
sure lots of people looked at it and then bought something cheaper.
