Re: SD 7 series recorders with / without an additional pre-amp

Actually, Martyn, the Crex scenario I mentioned was when I was using a pair=
 of
AT4022s in a boundary array. I could have used some more 'reach', since I w=
asn't
as close to the sound source as I had hoped. The self noise of the 4022s is=

comparable to the Sennheisers, and given their performanceI I wouldn't cons=
ider
them "cheap".


As I mentioned below, the final determination must be made by the ear of th=
e
beholder. In most situations, there is a given class of gear that works wel=
l,
but in some instances there is a need for something else. That is probably =
why
so much bandwidth is chewed up on gear recommendations and testing in this=

group.

Best,
