I have a PCM-1 as an option too, I use it quite seldom, the ME66 is a fairl=
y
good mic with relative low noise and of course has its own power in the K6.
I would play around with these two for now and forget about the preamp, the
recorder itself has a fair amount of gain so my suggestion to you would be
to use these in the field. I have an MP2 as an option but I very rarely use
it.
It depends really on what you wish to record, running water, you can mic
this without too much gain, insect sounds then maybe!
Get out and practice first with what you have and then go back to the
drawing table to see if you need more gain. By the way, the MP2 is now
discontinued unfortunately but I think Oade brothers still keep them in
stock.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Equipment suggestions
Hello all, I am a longtime reader of this forum and this is my first post.=
I have a couple of questions in regards to equipment needed to capture
quality recordings of nature sounds. I am the proud owner of a new Sony
PCM-1 portable dat. I would like to begin recording my own nature sounds t=
o
use in Logic Audio to compose ambient/relaxation type music. I am thinking=
of purchasing a Sennheiser ME66 shotgun mic with the K6 power module that
go's with the ME66 element. Then I will have the pistol grip w/shockmount=
and a Rycote windjammer on the shotgun element. Would this be a good
microphone of choice to use for nature recordings?=20
My next question is whcih preamp to use? I already own a Sony SBM-1
which has had the line in and preamp mod's performed by the Oade Brothers. =
So technically I could use the SBM-1 since it has had the preamp mod it has
a
lot of available gain on the preamp. Or should I invest in a Lunatec V3 or
a
used Lunatec V2 for recording nature sounds? Any advice or suggestions
that you all may be able reply with would be greatly appreciated. Thank yo=
u
in advance for your help.
