Re: Opinions on AT 4022 Mic and ATI ML200 Pre-Amp

I can't believe I didn't notice the power requirements for the amp in question! 
Makes all the rest of the info I provided fairly redundant.

I should note that the spec for the PCM-M10 is A-weighted while that for the 
pre-amp is full scale. Depending on the actual noise frequencies present, this 
puts the amp several dB quieter.

You can't got wrong with that recorder! This sounds like a much more practical 
solution. Bring lots of spare batteries.
