Is there a USB-powered mic preamp with analogue output?

goldtop · June 2018

Looking for a compact mic preamp that I can use on the move. It would have to run off the MPC Live's USB ports, but must have an analogue Line out for the audio (because the MPC Live doesn't receive audio over USB).

Any pointers?

So there aren't many around, it seems. But I might be able to use a simple USB audio interface: https://www.thomann.de/gb/miditech_audiolink_light.htm

Assuming that it will work without a computer (i.e. send the amplified output signals directly to the outputs). Anyone tried doing this sort of thing before?

Ask/search on Gearslutz.
It has come up before, but I can't remember which one.

Good idea. Will search GS.

This morning's slacking has found this: https://www.zoom-na.com/products/production-recording/audio-interfaces/zoom-u-22-handy-audio-interface

Reading between the lines, it should work standalone if Direct Monitoring is switched on. RCA outputs are a bit low-rent, but easy enough to fix with a cable.

Howdy, Stranger!
