IronFilm Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 How small is "small"? There is the Sound Devices MM1 (and the older/cheaper MP1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Gustavsson Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Marenius C-148 is similar to the MM1 https://www.marenius.se/audiodesign/micampc148.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard-NYNY Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Sonosax sxbd 1 although the limiter distorts a bit, but I never used limiting anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 An old used MixPre, the original version, used? 2 pres, good limiters, trafos, can mix or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Webb Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efksound Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanovich Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
