  • suggestions on 2 or 4 channel mic pre on battery power

    Hi,

    I am looking for four channels of mic pres to round out my 16-channel portable setup. I only need analog preamps with line out, no digital gear. My goal is to be able to run the whole system, computer, cards, and audio, from battery power. Right now I have:

    Powerbook G4 1.67
    MOTU Traveler
    RME Octamic-D

    I would like to have 2 or 4 more pres that sound, if not excellent, then at least unique. Any suggestions people?

    OK, what does “unique” sound like?

    😉

    unique: good for some things, but maybe not for everything. If you have to settle, settle for something good. I’m trying not to break the bank here.
