«  very good slice :) »

Published on 06/06/14 at 00:20
analog preamp to race 19 "1U.
equipped with a 3-band EQ, a switch "Harmonic Drive", a low cut filter (40/80/120 Hz) ...

microphone input jack and is the front.

UTILIZATION

this is a very simple to handle machine, I have not used a single manual faith, the ear is tt so the best way to test a product ;)

SOUND QUALITY

I found this very strong character preamp. It has a reserve da gain quite impressive without a fart breath ... on ribbon mic is really nice ...
It is right and neutral as normally "all transistor preamp"
It will not make miracles with low-end microphones but when we start getting into the range it proves to be a very good preamp.
I use it mainly in DI (low-guit), I tried on vocals, guitar, kick and snare. The battery is slamming, "cold" and very bright (I love), on the voice, I am not convinced (again depending on what I'm looking) and low DI is really great :)


(HDV is a completely useless for the use that I have so I can not dwell on this gadget commercial)

OVERALL OPINION

I have for a year now, if you want to color the sound or add warmth, exactly the preamp not to take :)

if you want to recreate a sound source with the greatest possible neutrality then go ahead :)


attention to trying several SSL product, the alpha channel remains notch below the "real thing" SSL, but for the price this is a really interesting slice ;)
