Building our own mic pre! Inquire within...

building mic pre

I would recommend building a mic pre based on Pat Morford`s
Solid State mic pre - it uses the Millennia Media op amp module.

It is very easy to build and according to Mr. Morford, sounds a lot
better than a tube mic pre - remember this man is a tube guy.
Have a look at his web site:
http://nanaimo.ark.com/~pat/index.htm

I have the parts and had to have the chassie box custom made,
as I intend to have four mic- pre channels in the same box. In fact,
I ordered 3 boxes at the same time, so I can have 12 mic pre
channels.

The input circuit is transformer based. Pat Morford strongly recom-
mends transformers made by Lundal. See link on his web-site.

But, don`t ask me for a copy of the circuit diagram, I will be loyal to the designer. I will start building soon...

You Know...

I've been VERY tempted to try that out, but at that price, I'd be damned pissed-off if I didn't like it; especially if it was because of my own hands... A simple position of a wire can change EVERYTHING!

RE, just checking to see if you got my email. After reading the Mix review (2/2001), my mouth is watering for a Trident Signature Series I or II. Talk me out of it.

Whoa?

Did I seriously not e-mail you back? I could have sworn I had... Maybe that was someone else... Did I even get your e-mail? On my way to check right now! I swear I'm loosin' it!

So much information!

Yes I'm in.

I live in Sweden but i think i can get most of the parts here too. Besides, I can always order form the US. I study sound engineering and we have quite nice measurement equipment here so that won't be a problem.

I'm in.

Ola Lagerhas,

I also spent some time at Pat's tube site and I also was interested in buying his kit but I won't have the $$ for a while. I sure would like to hear how happy you are with the results when you finish.

Please post your review of the kit for us.

Thanks,

Scooter B
