SM Pro Audio TB202

A real preamp lamp and not a hybrid drive so no adjustment to the fair for a lamp ADJUSTMENT PLAIN gain yes the signal goes in whole by the lamp so this one is not added to color the sound it's real light and it's not the sought-good purpose if you push the gain with limiter compressor I do not see the interest but each remains judge.

at the back among symmetrical XLR output jack and XLR symmetrical
Switch phantom power supply and phase inversion
in faade between Jack High Impedence instrument
adjustment input
compressor with gain adjustment and on / off
attack and release two possition (switch 2)
EQ three bands
and adjusting output volume
9 LED bar graph for very precise adjustment of the gain seen after compressor
there's no easier

2U Rack Stereo "rectif 1U and then to see" a real 2 preamps 2 lamps it's tough is mono 1/2 rack.

USE

Very very simple
but comprehensive manual in English

SOUND QUALITY

Ha sound and that's the most important.
in fact I was looking for a single thing simple cheap to attack audio card and console with bass guitar and occasionally voice and I fell the top.
saw the price I pay is I am still on the c .....
chouilla not a super transparent and warm sound and well yes that is true of good quality lamp that is more
one branch and it sounds
EQ very discreet and more than enough to change the tymbre for more radical adjustment we take the adequate equipment
though .....
compressor very efficient and super discreet no pump no breath and increasingly limiting it to hell.
not really going to pay a single pie pawn in 300 or 400 for less ......
btw I'm going to take a mono wandering.
hot hot bass guitar well rounded voice etc ... everything passes and no noise.
of course there's better but at what price?
btw it has little brothers but he's ain cheaper and better quality the other normal just change the name eg
TP 01 and y'en others.
HA! for distortion there's other devices to a
it is a preamp not a multi-effects

USE

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had two weeks, I have a test Gainstation 1 SPL before (1000 euros) that I made I also testing tlAudio (blah) has brought nothing compared to my console preamp Allen & Heath Gs1 that are very good for this range
The eq is very useful unpretentious but really bring various settings of color.
what is killing it when pushed is expected for the price of breath or noise
well no nothing ... bluffing

in fact I was looking for a sound less rough, smoothed and I fell on the c .. also, I wanted to buy a microphone electronics Z5600 and I discovered these preamps on their site last year with of very positive articles ings American sounds (there is one that compares the Avalon!)
I wanted to add to it a high-end peamp galley and the different opinions some Focusrite say it's expensive for what it is, others say that with neve it will be good but you not hear a huge difference .then I decid to take one's reading through back review (thank you by the way) it will serve me reference
plus I pay 166 euros Thomann delirant right?
I would do this choice again

The TB202 is a micro prampli having not only a part prampli lamp but a 3-band EQ and a compressor.

In fact, there are two in one set TB101 bote spars forming two channels.

It is version 19 "/ 1U (2U, not as I read)
The connection is complte (Jack / XLR) and seems solid.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple. One branch, it RULES possibly gain and EQ. That's it!

The saw-nitre are quite prcis.

I have a manual in French because I bought the product from a reseller of home loan. (Southern France). It is simple but more than adequate compared to rglages do.

SOUND QUALITY

Great sound with a true heat lamps.
I use it for decision-MC01 voice with the microphone of the same brand.

OVERALL OPINION

For the price, I do not criticize. This is well worth of products sold much more expensive.
Now you have to like the red because the faade is quite showy but Integrates lot in the middle of other products!

For information, the importer Waves System - www.wsystem.com and there is a page description.

UTILIZATION

A manual, a little anorexic especially on the compressor ...
If IN and OUT and basta!

SOUND QUALITY

What you ask for? a cheap preamp that preamplifier. TB on this one the 202 was completely successful operation. He gives her a stunning, breathless. I did not test any AVALON, but here I have for my sub.
There is a possibility to refine the equalizer and a compressor which I have not yet grasped all the subtleties. These two stories are detachable so no problem if you do not want a tube amp that gives fishing to your voice. I have not tried with an instrument, because it is rarely necessary preamplifier for my instrumentals.
There is a button ON OFF accessible ... It is these devices that do not remain switched on unnecessarily!

OVERALL OPINION

A € 160 with our friends the Germans .. KOLOSSAL! Put me 3 boxes!
