The aesthetic beauty is part of the pleasure of possession, and the look of this preamp throws!
10/10
UTILIZATION
18/07/14
Config ultra simple. Each control makes a clearly audible result: I have in front of me in my cabin miking, always with my headphones on when I recorded, and the settings are there, clearly, precisely, and effective.
10/10
SOUND QUALITY
18/07/14.
We always talk about transparency. I believe 100%. I listen to the sound of my synth Roland GAIA SH-01 directly into the headphone socket or after passing through the SPL is exactly the same without any correction.
It adds shine and a "binder" through its "Flair" function, but it is the only color it brings (on request) on your sound.
I spend in my dynamic mics (one Tbone ribbon RM700) and my static APEX 460. Given the power reserve it and the quality of treatment that brings even low level (with APEX, really do not need push the SPL), it is endowed with a pretty amazing versatility.
I go there too, so my synth Gaia, my digital piano Yamaha NP-30, and two expanders. By pressing the pads mitigation it can sound loud and clear without distorting, and the record is over the top. Furthermore, using both lanes, I can keep the stereo (interesting, for example, with patches of Gaia where the delay occurs ping-pong, or the Grand Piano on the NP-30 is off restitution as assumed be a high-end piano captured in stereo).
Briefly, a 10/10 well deserved.
OVERALL OPINION
18/07/14
I have this gem since October 2013, advised by a zozieau p'tit Afien the split shell. Sound advice which made me make good the quality of my sound.
Here, no correction EQ board is mic placement who gets a hand to sculpt more acute or severe, and it is very instructive to go back on these bases there. If you did well and the pickups are pretty good, the EQ subsequent changes in STAN are not even always necessary. It saves a lot of time, and it is very rewarding.
Until then, I had (good enough) a preamp mixer Alto Professional S 8 sold since, and always Lunnar TP-01 preamp with a compressor (good for some things), but also three bands EQ which too often go chercer corrections to the socket are missing out on the essentials (or mask).
In short, I love everything about this preamp, and have nothing to complain about. It is absolutely canon in terms of price / quality ratio since I had nine 470 € in which Thotho déstockait last before replacing the catalog by his successor (autremement more expensive).
I would be very unhappy if he were to let go, knowing that to replace the budget would be radically the same.
10/10, not mégottons!
