Re: [Harp-L] Portable microphone pre-amp

Check out the Rolls personal monitor boxes. They are on Amazon, Musicians Friend, etc. There are one or two other brands as well. If you get one, I'd be interested to hear your review.

He showed me his small belt box battery powered mic pre-amp device with no name shown.  It had a power switch, volume knob and connections for the mic, headphones and an out to PA ( if he wanted to amplify).  I indicated I had never been successful in my search for such a device but he did not recall where he purchased his.  I desperately need one if I continue playing loud jams.  The only ones I have found are in the $400 plus range, which is beyond my budget.  I have a two channel splitter but it is not portable, which I desire.  And it is much too bulky for tight jam stages.
