Polsen MP60 Reviews
Perfect for powering audio on my YouTube set
On my YouTube set I have five cameras, but a single mic. I wanted a simple way to send the same audio to all cameras so it would be easier to sync the different video clips in the edit. Yes, I could use built-in mics in each camera for scratch audio, but the audio quality/volume was sometimes poor, making it harder to sync in post. I connected this preamp to the Whirlwind Split6 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/351514-REG/Whirlwind_SPLIT_6_SPLIT6_1x6_Line.html), which can take audio and split it out to six destinations. The Split6 needs line level audio to be able to split up to six ways. This preamp provides phantom power to my single mic, then outputs the line level audio I needed. Previously, I used Whirlwind's SP1X3 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/351513-REG/Whirlwind_SP1X3_SP1X3_1x3_Mic.html) to split mic level audio to three cameras, so I did not need a preamp. Because I added cameras, the 3-way splitter would no longer work. I needed an amp that could power my mic and output line level audio needed by the Split6. This is a nice quality preamp, with simple controls for adjusting gain level. Audio quality is excellent. Very elegant solution for my needs.
Working better than expected
There are no reviews on this unit but it had all of the features we were looking for. We are using this with a SM58 mic and it gives that extra boost you need when people stand too far away from the podium. Just use the pad button on your mixer to cut static from the preamp and adjust the dial on the MP60 as needed for proper volume.
