My friend Seth lent me one of these the other day. I've used it for two recordings so far - one using it to record Anthony's (from Vultures Quartet) ambient sounds and another on some cymbals last night, both through an EV N/D 357 mic.
Really nice clear sound and no noise and a huge amount of gain - +35dB to +70dB - compared to the preamps in my MOTU soundcard (+40dB max) this is a useful piece of kit for recording quiet sounds for me as I can capture them without having to slap really huge compression on them in the mix and even through a female XLR to unbalanced 1/4" jack I am not noticing any noise - although I need to get an XLR to TRS 1/4" to get the best out of it.
Nice piece of kit - thanks Seth!
