Small mixer with great mic pre's and great phantom power.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a small mixer with very clean pres and very good phantom power.
Our band has a Soundcraft ui16 that is fine for most of what we do. (90%)
But we can't use our condenser mic with it because the pres arent so good and the noise gets even worse when phantom power is engaged. Its a known problem of these or I should say a usually acceptable compromise. With the condensor mic we just cant turn it up to hear anything without feedback. But Im not here to bemoan that. For the price point and features its still a good buy and Id buy again for the bar gigs we do. I tried using that fathead phantom pre attachment thingy to boost the mic signal but it didnt help enough. Maybe the ui16 phantom power is crap too? Doesnt matter Im done trying.
I'm just looking for a mixer that has at least one great mic pre that is attached to great phantom power so that on those few times when I want to hook up my mic (EarTrumpets Louise) I will be able to use it.
Can anyone recommend one for a couple hundred dollars max ?
No matter where I go, there I am...Unless I'm running a little late.
