Re: Small MicPre for use with SD 744T

["Lori Beckstead"]

The other option I had considered was the Sound Devices MixPre, mini field =
mixer, which seems to be a replacement for the sadly discontinued MP-2.  I =
just found it to be a bit heavy and with more options than I probably need.=
  I expect it will be a much better sound match than the Sonosax and a bit =
cheaper as well so I might go that route.

 I have tried an R-4 and was underwhelmed by the results.  I've no doubt th=
at the Oade mod helps quite a bit but its more about them lasting in the fi=
eld.  Too much plastic...just feels breakable.   The Sound Devices are just=
 so solid and professional feeling.

The Grace Design unit looks fantastic, I'll have to get a demo of it.

Thanks for all your advice,  I'll let you know what I end up with.
