hello
i am a home recording musician and i would like to buy a decent mic preamp.
I use Shure KSM27 mic, a mixing console and M-Audio fast track pro. All i need now is a decent mic preamp. Can you make me some suggestions on some pieces worth buying that cost up to $500?

I have an MXL990 mic and I run it through the same stereo microphone preamp that works for my stereo Sony electet mic. Is it because my mic is mono and I need to get the right fittings to go into my stetro preamp ? ...or is it because of my preamp specs ? It was made by a guy that builds them and sells them on eBay: Church Audio ST-20. Here are the specs for the 9-volt driven preamp:

I've been considering $400 or less mic preamps such as the Brick and the MBOX 2 mini as an interface. Just out of curiousity, how good is the mic preamp the mini? Can I expect much from it?

THANKS!

So I am getting ready to buy my first mic preamp. I know very little about which direction to go so if anyone has any advice that would be great.

say i have a solid state mic preamp like a trident, or Neve or something like that and a solid state power amp like a QSC rmx2450. or even for the preamp use of a 610. would that be acceptable and yeild good results for use as a guitar head before a cabinet.

Hello,

Hello. Currently have an ART TubePac-decent, but need more headroom. FMR RNP looks interesting. (and the price range) Any opinion, and or direction would help. Thank, Barefoot. (currently recording mostly Female Vox.)

I don' t mean any cheap starved plate jobs.

What do you expect from a GOOD tube mic preamp?

What do you want to hear from it when you audition it?

What features are must haves?

Thanks
:lol:
