The technology is transistor and opto-compression. Accepts input line level and microphone with phantom power supply +48 V
The preamp includes a section
in gain-> preamp-> compressor-> Meequalizer-> out gain
You can insert anything after the preamp, and can therefore bypass to enjoy the comp and EQ.
It can also add a source to be mixed with the signal without being affected by the treatments. Practice to connect a live voice (from another ThreeQ why not) and attack on his ThreeQ amplifier / monitor mix without table. Practice.
Finally, there are two outputs at line level. 4 dBU/-10dBU switchable. Great design
UTILIZATION
The config is very simple, but it must be the compressor. see doc.
It easily sculpt the sound.
The manual is really very good and succinct way Mackie.
SOUND QUALITY
Level preamp, nickel and is transparent, nothing to say. There is gain. Honestly, I prefer those of my Mackie (more gain), even the features are almost identical.
In fact, the high side compressor ThreeQ is especially EQ is very musical. Those who have already dabbled in different types of EQ understand. We put a small bump in 12kHz and you win really air, and 2.4kHz (parametric EQ in the midrange), we win easily from there.
The typical analog sounds comp and it's pretty terrible on voice (sort of veil that can appear and that sounds right away 60/70 's) and the percussion (a set of battery is really punchy and signed).
That, in addition, I find this preamp with its beautiful blue light that lights up when you activate the compressor.
OVERALL OPINION
Purchased OCCAZ of AF, I tested several hours, and I really like this little beast.
It's small (I can take it everywhere) and it sounds great. One might say, "it is small, it will sound small". No, it sounds big output, with a signature sound really special, which will stick very well to my style of music (a mix of electro and acoustic).
