Granted the differences are probably obvious given the price points of each pre...but....has anyone had the opportunity to compare?

For auditions and vo-only jobs on the road a cheap chinese condenser (already have some) a small pre and my old laptop with AA3.0 would do the trick. Trying to keep things nice and small.

Both would probably suit your needs fine. But the Mic Port Pro has a higher recording resolution at 24bit-96khz vs the Mic Mate Pro's 16bit--44.1/48khz.

I see from MXL's website they now have the Mic Mate Pro which features a headphone amp for monitoring. It looks very much like the Mic Port Pro that I own...and like a lot.

I have the MXL and the Micport Pro, and they are in two different leagues. Micport has fully variable gain, and real-time monitoring with a good headphone amp built in, and a superior mic pre. Haven't put ears to the newest offering from MXL, but I venture to guess it will sound very much like the original, just with the additional headphone jack.
Of course, I AM biased, since I happen to sell the CEntrance Micport Pro. In stock now, $149, and I'll ship it free Smile
