hello mathieu,

there is no extra preamp necessary, as long as
the mic doesn't need phantom power. this depends
on the microphone you are using.

you have to plug a mic into the INPUT of the a119.
then you take the output signal of the a119 and
use it with a vocoder (f.e. a129/1 and a129/2).

to improve the signal quality, you can of course use a
dedicated mic preamp (maybe in your mixing desk) before
going into the a119.

microphones are available in a wide range of quality and
price. i use an akg c3000 for vocoding purposes, but this
mic needs +48v phantom power, which the a119 cannot supply,
so i have to use an external preamp before going into the a119.

best wishes
