Hey Phil,
I'd recommend the M-Audio Audio Buddy
(http://m-audio.com/products/en_us/AudioBuddy-main.html). It's a two
channel mic preamp with phantom power and balanced, 1/4" TRS outputs.
They're low-noise, transparent sounding, and inexpensive. I picked one
up new from Guitar Center for $50 (on sale). They're usually about
$80.
I've looked at 4+ channel mic preamps, and they seem to be either
really cheap (Nady, SM-Pro) or way too expensive. The other option,
as other have mentioned, is a compact mixer (Yamaha, Mackie,
Soundcraft, etc.). I would look at one with 8 mic inputs, each with
an Insert jack or direct out.
Hope that helps
paul

Hi listmembers,
Looking over the info here:
http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/
It looks as if the Delta 1010LT has 2 XLR inputs, whereas the Delta 1010
only has 1/4" jacks.

I have 1" condenser mics (AKG 3000B) which require phantom power. I
assume neither card provides it.
Can owners of these cards confirm my assumptions? What recommendations
would you give for me to purchase.
We have a 5 member band, two instruments have built in pickups, the harp
has a 1/2" condenser mic (I'm not sure if it is battery powered or
requires phantom power), all of the other instruments need miking
(Uilleann, Great Highland and shuttle bagpipes, anglo concertina,
fiddle, whistles, flutes, bodhran, bones and egg rattle).
I am building a box with Gentoo Linux intended for recording and
editing.
TIA
