My previous travel pre-amp was a mini dbx. About 4 inches square with a standard heavy power cable – plus two mic cables. The reason I went with the MicPort Pro was because several of my other VO buds use it and have been very happy. I saw it for the first time at VOICE 2007.

The mini dbx still works great – a good backup in case another channel on my Mackie poops out.

My MicPort Pro is my main mate in the studio, and their customer service is outstanding. After a year of use, the tiny plug that goes into the MicPort was not fitting as snug anymore, and it fell out as I was recording. Within a matter of days, I received a new cable, free of charge.

What persuaded you to buy the MicPort Pro instead of… lets say, an Avalon (apart from the price tag)? What were you using before and how does the MicPort Pro measure up against it?

My Dell inspirion is fading rapidly, after only two years. Every day I receive a message saying: “The battery has reached the end if its functional life”… and I need to reboot frequently. Do you think these computers have a built-in self-destruct mechanism?

Meanwhile, my friends’ Mac is still going strong after 8 years of intensive use. That’s going to be my next big investment!

Be well and Happy Easter!

Paul

The triangle Auralex is available through Sweetwater Sound for about $20 if I remember right. As for Robby Resnick…

with gratitude,
