Has anyone paired this with an Akg c214 or another comparable large diaphragm condenser mic. I'm looking for a budget preamp that will mesh nicely.

I use mine with a KBM 412 to mic up a cajon. I route the output through the aux input on my bass amp, and it sounds great to me. It carries bass tones quite well, without losing the mids. Pay attention to the meter. Sound is great as long as you keep it out of the red. That's not a flaw. That's what the meter is there for.

I brought it for my grandsons with an Behringer 302USB Premium 5-Input Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamp and USB/Audio Interface for $49 they say it works but they can't download the software to do the mixing personally I read an answer to this question that makes more sense --return it and buy a snowball usb mike. I goggled it and it is cheaper and seems less complicated to use and set up-- http://bluemic.com/snowball/

Preams are weak, but not so much. It depends, which microphones we use and is it close or far micing. I cannot say that those preamps are bad. They are weaken than some famous preamps but overall they are not bad. Hope it helps.

Hi there: on my Fishman Pro I had used Shure Beta58A vocal mic, and also condenser mics and even choir michophone, I had no problem at all with any of them. I hope this help you. So far no problems at all with the amplifier, performs well and has very good output volume. Cesar.

You should. Though I haven't tried it I don't see why you couldn't run one mic into the xlr input and run another into the 1/4. But make sure you use phantom power. Great question though. I'll have to try it out myself

The mic you mention is not as beefy as an AT2020, which is what I use. I have it with a in-line amp, pop filter and spider cage. The stand holds all that at full extension just fine. I do not foresee you having any issues.

I've been using the m-audio fast track pro. Basically , this a good mic used primarily for overhead recording -- drums, pianos. But I've used it on vocals and guitar and it's good but only as good as ur pre amp. If ur interface doesn't have good preamps I would recommend buying an external one if ur serious about getting high fidelity recordings. Hope that helps

I have used this mike with a Sony IC stereo voice recorder. It works great! However, even at the highest recording quality, it will not quite match a more professional microphone at the low and high end... however it is totally outstanding for recording voice... and the stereo separation is very good for a combo microphone.

I find for just sketching with my guitar or even catching a band practice the on board mics are pretty good. It only comes with two 1/4 input (channels 1 and 2). Ive used an sm 58 and beta 58 (for vocals) with a chord with the xlr and 1/4 on either end. I use an sm 57 for my amp, though sometimes I go di from the amp (its a DT25). I may just get an adapter and leave it plugged in to the unit. All these options have worked great for me.

I run my tube mic (APEX460) into a PreSonus Tubepre Single-Channel Vacuum Tube Mic pre into the dp-008 XLR plug. Sounds awesome.

I used an AKG c1000S placed about 5 inches away from the cone near the bridge. Play around with the mic placement as you may find a psoition tha tyou like more.

Wendy, I am a guitar player, but a friend of mine that plays violin professionally at Disneyland tried the AKG 411 and said that it was too midrangy for his tastes. He prefers a lavalier mic he paid $25 for at Radio Shack. He places the mic behind the bridge. He plays live with it and has no feedback problems. I have heard it and it sounds great. He said he prefers this mic over the expensive mics he has tried. D

i have mine connected to my receiver, but i don't see why it will not work with your preamp, as long that it has the required inputs.

Yes, for the ADAT alone, but only if you dream of picking up the 8-channel mic preamp. If you're questioning about the extra 2 inputs, then I doubt you'll need to spend the extra. For me, the more inputs, the better. Not everyone has the need to mic a drum set or more than two acoustic instruments at once like I do. For me, this is just the beginning, I'm gonna keep looking for a good used 8-channel preamp. The reason I got this is because my old, reliable MOTU 896HD with 8 mic/inst inputs up and died on me.

It's one of the best. However, because of it's low output, you will need an audio interface that produces at least 60db gain. This setup on the higher price spectrum, but the quality is phenomenal. Many people in broadcasting use this mic.

Hi Michael, I really love this mic! Last summer I performed with it at an outside venue and had no problems whatsoever with any ambient noise or feedback. I agree with one of your other responders in that a _hypercardioid_ microphone would your best bet, however, in a really noisy environment. The AKG D5S is a supercardiod model.

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.
