Rode mic's are way more expensive than that here. about 5 times a mxl
603! One of these http://www.smproaudio.com/PR4v.htm seems like the
mic pre for the job. Though the local shop had them at way more than
RRP and wasn't keen to sell them to me. SM pro are a melbourne company
though so i might be able to pester them directly for a better price.
Anyone used there gear?
