hey y'all
maybe this was posted in the wrong forum, that is why i got no reply so i'll try again here. i need a mic preamp. my freind says that it's a black hole and i there is no limit to how much i could spend, but he's wrong. the limit is 500.00! if i could get a decent one cheaper then i would have cash for some other stuff. i have a small home studio but don't have a clue when it comes to using a preamp so if there is a web site or book or someone could recomend where i could pickup the basics that would be very helpful also. i currently use a audio technica 4040 mic plugged into my m box. i don't ever see the need for more than two inputs, so what should i buy?

OK, i give up,
UNCLE!

Maybe the grace 101? Nevermind thats only 1 input, but its a great pre!

You want it clean/transparent or with specifics?

It IS a black hole, but as long as you have cash limits it's ok

i use the SPL Gold Mike and i'm pretty happy with it...
i think this could fit yuor needs as well
