I was planning on using a topology that had the LM1973 in the *feedback*
loop
of the microphone preamp stage. Therefore, it would get its drive from
the output
of the mic preamp, after 40 dB or so of gain and attenuate it back to
microphone
level before feeding it to the inverting

Absolutely. So you use the LM1973's you mentioned in a programmable gain
configuration, right? Are these parts quiet

~350mW. I assume that you mix 6-8 channels of analog down to 2, then
digitize. So with 6 analog channels, each with programmable gain (and
possibly eq), and the other circuitry and microcontroller you're well over
1/2

On the subject of building your own mixing system for MD, what do you find
lacking in commercially available mixers that would prompt you want to build
your own? I can see that battery power and small size could be requirements
not met by many mixers.
In addition to the requirements you
Curiously, I am currently contemplating designing a small digital mixer for
location recording (not specifically to MD, but entirely usable with
it). My day job is DSP design (both hardware and software) for recording
studio equipment (www.cedaraudio.com); my hobbies are performing and

After a few attempts to record MDs using electret mics plugged directly into my MZ-R70,
I have noticed these problems:
1) The gain ahead of the A/D is *fixed*, so it is possible to overload the A/D. This
happens
with a not-too-load signal, for instance, someone just talking loudly.
