Hello to all!. I'm new in this Forum, this is my first post.
I do recordings of classical music and ethnic music. This ethnic's
recordings sometimes are field recordings, without AC power.
I'm in the task of upgrading my gear. I've recently purchased a matched pair of microphones: Schoeps CMC6-xt, cardioids. I think it is a good start.
Now I'm investigating about a 2 channel pre for these microphones.
I could buy a Millennia HV-3B pre, but for ethnic recordings I would need a battery powered pre.
Whichbattery powered pre do you think offers the best sound quality ?
And how near or how far do you think is it from a Millennia HV-3B?
Thank you very much, your knowledge will be greatly appreciated. Oak.

welcome :D

I have no experience with this unit, but I believe the Apogee mini-me may do the trick for you. I think I remember reading that it's either bus-powered or it's battery powered...either way should work pretty well for you. However, as i said before...no experience with this unit. Maybe that can focus your research a bit...

don't know how sonically similar it will be to the Millennia, but it should be a pretty clean unit.
