New Friends, my first post here! These days I have realized that being an acoustic instrument musician is not enough to be able to communicate your music to larger number of people in open air. In the last 2 years i concentrate on improving my playing technique and it is now time to share it in parks, villas, cathedral's square, etc etc.
All my stuff need to be battery operated!
I therefore started to learn which kind of hardware i do need. First thing I have done is to test microphones with a Art audio interface (Budget mic pre). I ended up with 2 lavalier condensers mic that i stick to the instrument. being my instrument a very delicate and nuanced one (Hang) i need quite large amount of gain. The signal goes to a superportable ik multimedia iLoud speaker, that receives the sound from the pre phone out, to the iloud minijack input.
So what?
I need to have more gaind thant 44dB the art offer but I cannot understand if I should choose a high gain mic pre or shall i get a field mixer. Functionality here seems to overlap and i was almost deciding for a fiel mixer, when i noticed that some of them do not declare a gain in their specs. I need both high gain and phantom and ,my fear is that mic pre deliver gain by definitions but maybe field mixers not? Thanxs for helping me in understanding.
A next step might be to get a better speaker, but I really need a supersmall one (a roland cube is too large to be on the move for me)
THANKS
