UTILIZATION

External power supply, but fairly solid, with a clamping ring on the machine

config apparently simple, but hides when the uncertainties compression options.
the manual is clear but incomplete in terms of technical characteristics (input impedance, output gain ..?.).
on the other hand, recess "sm pro audio" uses the best components the world .... etc.

SOUND QUALITY

For me it prampli in sound recording, can only be used for microphones which have levels of output of "horse"
I tried it with a ribbon microphone (which requires the gain, it's true ..), the TB 202 is avoided, too much wind and noise.
on a classical guitar with a piezo, the sound is very pleasant, open, the problem I had in this case is that without atnuation
has returned too hard with the gain to a minimum, but with the attnuaion (-20dB), I have to gain back, so breath. -10 Db would have sufficed ...
I compared it to a motu pramp 828mK2 and that of a mackie 14 / 2, the TB 202 is much more noisy (much!).
I'm lying to confusion of the other reviews.

made possible for microphones that neccessitent not much gain, or piezo pickups magntiques, but do not connect to the catch of "subtle sounds" as whispers is a waste of time unless you are fans of artifacts and noise gnreux, more or less pink.
pramp one more attempt to find an effect on the instrument input, with the qualiseur, the overall ambiance, or compressor
has its own style (ficasse, color.

OVERALL OPINION

I just finished two hours of testing (27/02/2006).
what I like least is that I found incorences gross, by reversing the phase, or by engaging section qualisation (all twelve o'clock rglages EQ ..). If Nus want infidle least possible, you should dphaser if the activation of EQ.

price level, it's true, it's cheap, must be suitable for sources pltot "powerful" and it is good to have a machine just "lo-fi" in its fleet, to give the effect. .. course, recess.
one machine of this type will suffice, I think.
