UTILIZATION
A minimum so that we know how to use a preamp, a compressor, and an eq I think the usage is rather simple. For a clean sound: minimum entry level and high output for a dirty sound of course is the reverse. It actually has a single lamp (triode), so if you enter too much in the preamp, a small gain of makeup or eq will quickly saturate the signal.
SOUND QUALITY
I find good quality even though I could not make true comparisons with another preamp in this category. I did some comparative tests on a voice rapped with a small table for home studio Tapco 6306 (C414 XLII as micro). It is on that has nothing to do, the sound is much more "accurate", this, more respectful of the source. Be careful though if you want a clean sound that does not hit too hard when the preamp input, the distortion appears very quickly, and what can be very smooth on a bass or a guitar is not necessarily a voice.
OVERALL OPINION
I used it in the studio along with a ISA220, I think I still prefer the ISA is still more complete, but for that price I think the 5051 is one of the best machines. I use it to record vocals, bass instrument input (DI not need to practice!), And most of my drums vsti or to compress and equalize (There's also an input line). My opinion of course can not be objective because I have not yet acquired much experience in this type of equipment.
