Friends, We are about to do a speech recording project in which we have to work at remote locations. We acquired a new laptop with a large hard drive for this purpose and will back it up with memory sticks. But we didn't want to trust the (noisy) built-in audio card for digitizing, and therefore bought an external unit made by M-audio ("Mobile Pre") which appeared to have pretty good specs for our purposes. Now they have sent us three of those units, each of which peak clipped at about 50% of the rated maximum. Anyone know of a reliable outboard two-channel digitizer/preamp for this purpose? We would rather not get into the multi-channel zillion dollar units made for the music industry. Thanks for any suggestions, Chuck Watson Indiana University
