There's also a guy in south Austin named Curtis who owns a company called Million Dollar Sound. He used to do all of the tech work for Aaron White at Pro Audio Sales and Service on S. Lamar before they shut their doors. I think MusicMakers at S. Lamar and Barton Springs Road also has a pretty good bunch of techs in their shop......but I've been away from Austin almost 6 years now so my info is a bit dated. To return to the subject of the SE Ribbon mic, you definitely don't need a preamp with *big gain* to get plenty of sound out of this mic and it works great as a vocal mic as well as on instruments.<

description: br /> If you do decide to get a preamp for use solely with ribbon mics, you might want to look at the AEA TRP. It's a Forssell design for $750.00. (Forssell = "excellent") RE: phantom power for this mic, the following was posted by Fred Forssell-"There is no internal phantom power available with the TRP and it has no phantom blocking caps at its input. Therefore, if you use an external phantom power box this box needs to provide the DC blocking caps. Because the TRP have VERY high input impedance, these caps can be quite small (like 3.3 - 10 MFD/63v) and wired into an XLR barrel connector or had made cable, should the external phantom power box not provide the blocking. Also custom external high voltage DPA/B&K supplies (with DC blocking) can also be used with good success."

You can perform some upgrade to "save" your 586. First of all find some nice 12AU7 Telefunken tubes. I use those. You will have nice DRY and round sound with not much midrange detail but sort of "analog tape" sound. For more midrange try the Mullard BVA tubes ! Tubes change the sound on these devices. I love my DBX. I did some more upgrade though. The 376 has an eq section so I changed all polyester caps to WIMA ones. If your device has a digital output you can put a better converter for -10 in noise level ! wELL THE SPECS SAY SO the actual difference is some db's. If you use the analog output there is a 5532 output chip. I have put there the JRC2114 which has better specs and helps ... Anyway tubes can make a big difference. I will never sell my dbx's. For the best vocal preamp (my own experience) is Avalon M5 I like my amek 9098 too which give some extra harmonics to the sound which is pleasing (NEve sound) but avalon has exceptional punch, bass , and forwards the sound as alomost as kissing you, so you can imagine what that menas when you record some great female (if she is a great singer too that helps :) ! If you ever want to upgrade let me know and I can give you mo…

Can you send info to brandon_goodwin@SSPPAAMMsbcglobal.net I do not have the digital upgrades. You know a long time ago a DBX tech told me NEVER to turn up the DRIVE past 50%.
