I bought a AKG C3000 mic and also have analog mixer Soundcraft SpiritFolio F16. I was connecting mic directly into the mixer and the signal was very noisy. I have an SB Live Platinum card and don't know which mic-preamp should I buy. Please suggest me one.. I'm in a hurry..

P.S. It must to be a low-budget variant..
 
I wouldn't have thought that setup would be particularly noisy... what cable are you using for all your connections?
 
Also...

Which input are you using on the SB card? Mic input? Line input?

If you are using the mic input, well, there is your problem, you have 2 mic preamps in line. One of them driving a line level signal.

If you are using the Line inputs, the card just may be bad. It has been known to happen.

I agree, that setup shouldn't be too terribly noisy. But who knows.

Cable MAY be the issue here, but that would be the very last thing I would suspect in this case. Anytime a SB card is involved, I suspect the input issue first!

Let us know.
