Hi All,
All things being subjective, I would really value opinions on whether this =
would be a successful arrangement for me. A pair of Audio Technica AT4022s=
connected to an ATI ML200 pre-amp (with 48V phantom) then connected to a T=
ascam DR-100 (utilizing the line input). BTW, I already own the Tascam rec=
order. The recorder is OK, but I wished that I had known about this group =
a year ago before the purchase.
To get an idea of where I'm coming from, for the past year I've been using =
the Tascam with a single Sennheiser K6 (ME 66 capsule) for natural soundsca=
pe recordings. The mic is borrowed from a friend and eventually I'll have =
to return it. When the sound level was high enough, I thought my recording=
s where OK, not great but adequate. I've learned by experience and reading=
that while the mic is really sensitive, it's a bit noisy. I've also learn=
ed that the Tascam's pre-amps are really noisy.
I would like to expand to cleaner, stereo recordings. But this is just a h=
obby to me, and I only have about a thousand dollars to spend on mics and a=
pre-amp. I've listen to some recordings made with the 4022s that sounded =
great. I plan to install the mics in a homemade SASS configuration. I've =
also heard that using the Tascam recorder's line input is pretty clean, too=
. I haven't heard much about the ATI pre-amp. Its specs seem good, but I'=
m not sure whether the phantom supply can power two 4022s or for how long. =
What do you guys think? Is this a good mid-level approach or a mid-level =
waste of money?
Thanks in advance! The info that I've gleaned from this group has been rea=
lly helpful.
