Thanks Rob. I answer: really, I think the R4=B4s preamplifiers needs an
external preamplifier. The hiss is clearly noticeable. I have a very
good studio preamplifier (AC powered) , and I made comparisons with the
R4 preamplifiers. The R4=B4s noise  with the external pre is clearly
reduced. In this case, I think, the R4 is usable in quiets ambients.

I have MKHs Sennheiser mics. I=B4m interested in stereo recordings of
solo songbirds (M-S), not surround.

What battery powered preamplifiers are used between you, experienced in
nature recordings ?  Thanks.  Hugo.
