Anyone using this?

I'm thinking about getting one for the road kit, to power a Sennheiser 416.

I have one my DW bought me a year ago as a gift and I've never used it and don't plan to. Would 20% off ($160) and free shipping work for anyone?

Ok, got my MicPort Pro.

WOW what a game changer for auditions on the road.

Bruce, if you ever have to audition on the road and don't already have another one of these, I would consider hanging onto the one that you have.

Not intended as a thread jack... but I'm considering my options for updating my lightweight road kit (since I became an owner of a 416), and was looking at the Shure X2U... any pros or cons compared to the MicPort Pro?

I think the micport pro goes to 96K and the shure goes to 48K. But hey is that an issue for you?

Perhaps of greater significance than 96k vs 48k is the fact the Shure is 16 bit only

I think the 96K thing is with Windows only.

Buy both, return the one you don't like. They each have pros/cons.
If the MicPort Pro QC has improved, and they built it with better jacks, I'd say get that, but for half price the X2u does the job with a 416 just fine (ask Bill Ratner).
