Comments about Nady DMP-2 - Compact Microphone Preamp:
Bought this to use with a Zoom H4n with the Hosa Technology 1/8" male to 2 XLR female Y-CABLE. I thought it would give me the ability to control the levels of each channel on the mic-in on the H4n and also give true 4 channel XLR input to the zoom with phantom power on every channel.
Turning the levels down to 2-3 on the H4n and only using the gain on the Naddy still resulted in a very bad hiss with every mic I tried.
Also using this through the xlr inputs of the H4n (with the phantom power off and levels low on the H4n) phantom power on the naddy, still resulted in unusable high hiss levels. This will not be a solution for those looking to boost the signal going into the Zoom from a low signal mic such as a RODE NTG2. It was worth a shot, but ended up returning it.
The Hosa cable though works very well with the Zoom H4n with self-powered mics like the NTG2. Much better levels off the mic-in with the NTG2 battery powered than through the H4n's XLR in wether phantom powered or not.
Other thoughts: Bulkier than I expected. Battery compartment is extremely difficult to get the 9v battery in.
