Hi everybody. Am not a sound guy, and my knowledge is very limited. But I'm putting together a nice gear set for my Black Magic Pocket Camera. And now I'm on SOUND. I've bought the Rode NTG2. And now I need advice on a cost-effective PREAMP. I've found the PULSE DUAL CHANNEL AMPLIFIER: http://www.astounded.com/pulse-mpre-dual-dual-channel-microphone-preamplifier.html
And might 'sound' crazy, but I've got the idea to use this pedal as it might be a good solution: http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Behringer-PB100-Preamp-Booster-Pedal/6BK?origin=product-ads&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_campaign=PLA+Behringer&utm_content=Yb7xhCqt|dc_pcrid_39000656599_plid__kword__match__#full-des
I wonder which you would advise me. Or any others, since they could be poewered by a 9V battery, making my kit really portable. I'll shoot a documentary, so sound quality is primordial. I know from various posts the sound input in the pocket camera is very low. So need gain/amplifier. Also, I need to buy the CABLES, and I wonder if I buy them BALANCED or not balanced? Thanks everybody. Appreciate if someone could help on this as I have to buy this soon before travelling next week. F
