I just aquired the shinybox 46MXC and really like the sound I'm getting out of it. The only problem is I have to crank my pre in order to get enough gain that I'm looking for. This gives me some noise that I'm assuming is from the pre. It's like a high hiss that I can't get rid of. I'm wondering what pre can give me enough gain without getting excess noise. Right now I have a Trident S20 and a UA6176. I get more luck with the UA then the trident but still noise I'm not wanting in my mix.
I'm still kind of a dummy when it comes to understand the engineering side of things, although I'm trying to learn.
Here's the specs of the shinybox.
Ribbon Microphone Type and Dimensions: Low tension, 2 inch aluminum ribbon
Pattern: Figure of 8
Recommended Load Impedence: > 1000 ohms
Frequency Response: 30 to 18,000 Hz
