chris_bollard Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 I've been doing so Googling but not really come up with anything I'm looking for a SMALL portable single channel mic pre amp with 48V phantom to use with my 688 & 633 Any suggestions?
IronFilm Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 How small is "small"? There is the Sound Devices MM1 (and the older/cheaper MP1).
Jacob Gustavsson Posted July 6, 2019 Report Posted July 6, 2019 Marenius C-148 is similar to the MM1 https://www.marenius.se/audiodesign/micampc148.htm

That is a very generic similarity. I can see tonnes of differences in the details, for instance with powering: 4x AAA + Hirose is what the Marenius C-148 has (quite different to the MM1!).
chris_bollard Posted July 7, 2019 Author Report Posted July 7, 2019 Thanks for the input. Mozegear looking good - they all have pros and cons for my situation - looked at the Korwitch also
Gerard-NYNY Posted July 7, 2019 Report Posted July 7, 2019 Sonosax sxbd 1 although the limiter distorts a bit, but I never used limiting anyway.
Philip Perkins Posted July 7, 2019 Report Posted July 7, 2019 An old used MixPre, the original version, used? 2 pres, good limiters, trafos, can mix or not!

Patrick Tresch Posted July 7, 2019 Report Posted July 7, 2019 Dual channel though https://www.sonosax.ch/product/sx-m2d2/ coming in fall.
pt Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 Another two channel option http://www.audioroot.fr/product/femto/
Laurie Webb Posted September 6, 2019 Report Posted September 6, 2019 I realize this is a bit of a late addition to this discussion, however I wanted to add one more pre-amp to the line up. In addition to our Mini Papi, we brought out a 2 channel version called the Papi Pico. It has 2 channels with a headphone amp and optional Timecode Generator. It is the same small size as the Mini Papi, (7.29 cubic inches). Channel A is similar to the Mini Papi with all the features, Channel B is a pre-amp without phantom power. There is a headphone amp with rotary volume, 4 settings and a return. The timecode generator supports all standard frame rates, has variable level output, and an internal battery that is good up to 12 hours. This could be used in a boom kit. Channel A for the boom mic, and channel B for IFB. It powers from 5 to 18 volts so you can use a USB power pack. Here is the downlink which will give you more information and the spec’s: https://www.mozegear.com/papipico This is shipping now.
efksound Posted September 6, 2019 Report Posted September 6, 2019 Fostex had a very small 1ch one , but unfortunately they decided to discontinue it, maybe on the second hand market ? https://www.fostexinternational.com/docs/archive_products/AR501.shtml Sennheiser also has a 1ch preamp Sennheiser MZA14P48U , these are quite easy to find on ebay https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/mza-14-p-48-u
ivanovich Posted September 7, 2019 Report Posted September 7, 2019 Vark Audio has a very nice mic amp box that is made for the 633. I’m sure you could use it on the bigger recorder too.
