Hello,
I'm wondering what microphone preamps out there on the market (or off
the market) have more than 60dB of gain. If you have a comment to go
with the preamp model I'd be interested in hearing what you have to
say.

Thanks,
Peter

Pendulum MDP-1A. 63 db stock. I believe Greg can ramp it up higher if
you want.

Grace Design will make the 101 on request with 70 dB gain, they advertise
this as helpful with ribbon mics. Don't know the upcharge, if any. I
have the standard 101 (60 dB), I think it's great - very smooth,
incredibly quiet, excellent DI included, good price. And it looks way
cool, esp. with the U195!

All of my preamps can easily be modified for more than the
standard maximum of 60dB. I have done it for several
customers at no charge.

Both Great River and Millenia Media make high gain versions on request.

I might be wrong since I don't own one, but I seem to remember that
the sytek's go higher as well.

In a pinch, you can chain two channels of any preamp and square the gain.

And it's also available as the Shure FP23:

Someone mentioned Sytek. The web page for the MPX-4Aii
says "Gain: +65 dB range (ref. input)".

John, what is traded-off to get that extra amplification?

Philip

There are a ton of them. Probably 90% of the pro market preamps go over 60db.

That will work, and of course, if they are different, I would
certainly recomand putting the lower noise one first, and the lower
distortion one second. In fact by the time you go through the first 30
or more dB gain, the second one can be a very noisy one.

Regarding sugestion to alter the circuitry itself: It may work well
when one knows their circuits and have some margins to spare. There
are cases where one is forced to trade something for the extra gain.
The tradeoff may be reduced bandwidth or worse distortions. When a
design depends a lot on negative feedback to get distortions in line,
using more of the availble gain (open loop gain)to amplify, leaves you
with less for the feedback correction. I would think that the Hardy
twin servo will work very well, because he can tweak the correction in
the right place.

You should add the Buzz MA2.2 to the excellent list that's already
been posted...64 dB of gain, clean, quiet, musical.

The Gordon Model 3 provides up to 70 dB of gain and uses no global
feedback (at a price, of course.)

You might also ask another question:

What are the noise specs for those 60 dB gain mic pres?

Are you interested in 60+ dB of gain if the noise floor then sits at -60
dBFS?
