Published on 01/07/12 at 16:34Everything has been said in prior reviews. But it should be noted that it was (because it is no longer manufactured) a single machine that has not been replaced by Mindprint, and there is nothing similar on the market today. Too bad.
UTILIZATION
Nothing to report, the operation and instructions are clear, everything works as expected.
The worrying thing is that the unit itself gets very hot, and that over time the switch DAW monitoring has become erratic and it generates a breath (rather crachottis) in the left channel which lost to the passage level. So I no longer use part of the monitoring device. The line input is sometimes some weird stuff too, like feeble level and hop of a sudden (after 1 min roughly) normal, as if something is free it and after it works nickel ... Curious, but you get used to.
SOUND QUALITY
The preamp (which is a strip actually) I think is very good for a machine of this price, I was using before the preamp in my rack ... Digi002 That day and night! No discussion is so obvious. Its compressor "one knob" did a good job with finesse. And not to mention the DI / Instrument which is just really good if not extraordinary, frankly better than DI Avalon very very expensive, is to say! Indeed, one senses immediately affiliation with the Mindprint Envoice (especially the Mk I, Mk II is because the less I think) which I think is by far simply the best preamp in its price range!
OVERALL OPINION
Purchased in England here almost 3 years in a shop where he had served in demo, so for a price level with the daisies. But concerns (see above) were quick to make themselves known (roughly 1 year after purchase). A pity because this machine very comprehensive and practice is unique, having said that I still still part preamp that works well, and € 120, it is frankly no price to pay for results.
