UTILIZATION
The setup is simple?
The configuration is simple to anyone who can read ... I mean that the slice is full of sub-function on virtually every button and must look well to read the desired functions. Otherwise, too many have all (or most) of these functions to work so precious sound.
The manual is clear and sufficient?
Manuel enough.
Do you get a good sound easy?
Yes
SOUND QUALITY
The sound is correctly reproduced?
I find the sound very detailed, very deep, clear.
The preamp makes it clear or does it stain?
Without being cold, it is very bitter and close to the microphones. While the line-play depth (very slightly). For staining is AMS / NEVE anyway. So, yes there are but the custard. Mumm, which treats a voice or a scraper. This just bite, so expressive. Without twisting your ear, it transports you to the heart of the energy of the musician. Me, I love this proximity.
OVERALL OPINION
For how long have you been using it?
I use 2 slices for 4 years on concerts and mastering.
What thing do you like most/least about it?
What I like most is the quality of the preamp with its veracity. The eq is also not very smooth but extremely effective, especially in PA.
Minimum, two settings of attack for the compressor.
Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Not really, because it is always difficult to test this type of product.
However, I had the opportunity to work on a 88R and it's the same preamp ...
It must also say that I listened to a lot of different models before deciding on seeing a lot of stuff with their sound engineer (Hearer, Amek, Avalon, API, GML, Tube Tech, Universal Audio, Focusrite Isa, Joemeek, LA Audio , TL Audio, Midas, Mindprint, SSL).
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Very good because a lot of tools with high quality.
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?
Yes since I bought what I missed. Namely, the GML (2x 2032, 1x 8900) for the eq so nice and warm.
The compressor and so perfect ...
