JM,
Through everyone's help here, and subsequent testing, I can certainly attest to
the accuracy of the info you just got. I was just floundering over the same
predicament. Now I have a renewed appreciation for my Sennheiser ME-66 at 10 db
self noise ... I wonder if you can get better than that?!? BUT it is a long
mic.
For miniaturization, I wonder if it's capsule can be obtained separately and
the peripheral circuit be mimicked ...hmmm.

Subject: [Nature Recordists] Preamp : need advice
Hello,
I'd like to by a preamp to insert between my Marantz PMD-620 and an
AudioTechnica AT-822.
This would be mainly to record quiet ambiences, natural sounds.
Which preamp would you the suggest?
(BTW, I'm also interested in a small one..)
I saw a few ones who could interest me :
- CHURCH AUDIO ST-9100 STEREO MICROPHONE PREAMP

PREAMP_W0QQitemZ 250198674711QQih Z015QQcategoryZ3 281QQcmdZViewIte
mQQ_trksidZp1742 .m153.l1262
- There is also a smaller version but it has only +20 db, would it be
enough acccording your experience?
