Re: battery-driven Mic PreAmp?



Buzap -

I'm working on the same issue for the same reasons! I'll be
taking my RC-2, microphone, and new sound system suit
(under construction) to Burning Man in a few weeks. Right
now I'm just using a dynamic (SM-58) or battery-powered
(AKG-1000) mic with a mic/line transformer directly in the
1/4" or 1/8" jacks. It's not great, but it does work. 

For your mixing needs, Rolls was already mentioned but try
the PM50sob. It's sold as a headphone amp, but for what you
want it seems like it would work well. And it's small.

Also, there's some "field mixers" that come on eBay every
so often for amazingly cheap, probably because they're
generally listed for video use rather than musical use. I
saw a used 3-channel XLR belt-clip 9v mixer go for $60 last
week! 

Best o' luck!
