Perfect finish for this preamp "channel strip"
Everything is Pro, it's solid and beautiful!

UTILIZATION

Handling simple, obvious that even in the habit of turning buttons ;-)

SOUND QUALITY

The main reason for purchasing this machine pro: quality!
Whatever the microphone (Neumann, G7, C414, Oktava, etc ...) the quality is there!
This is stunning gentleness and fidelity.
The EQ is very effective and there is a knack frequencies of all types of stamps. Like a magic button that brings out the "beauty" of what is recorded, and the must is with the voice, wow!

I suspect the de-trackers does this machine do its only for a short time.
The compression mode is optical, which means that reactivity take his time, and it shows! is ... musical!

It is true that fashion is ultra compression and sound that goes in food transients.
It is true that if you wait for the compressor and punch out a square wave signal, then you better look elsewhere.
But for those who love fine, so there go for it!

It is sweet, soft, deep, loyal, warm and precise, nuanced, and never in bad taste!
There should be a real concern to hearing a "bad decision" with this machine.

I sometimes compensates compression "soft" or rather a gentle trip on my Manley Vari-Mu, and there ... says it all!

I put 9/10 in sound quality with pure nitpicking because I must admit that when you push a little treble, it feels a little breath make its appearance, even after a good hour of heating, but hey, it remains in the analog!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 10 years since I use it, it's solid!

I prefer the Focusrite ISA certainly more accurate, but less versatile.

I will not make this choice because I prefer to multiply the preamp to have a choice, and as I already ... and then must admit that it is not given the beast!

A must for any studio worthy of the name.
