Hyrius « it's good! »
Published on 04/01/14 at 13:16I will return to these characteristics even if we know them:
- 12AX7 preamp hybrid and the transistor while in class A with 70db gain total
- A DI 2.2 MOhm
- A mic input XRL
- A line input XLR
- And of course a XRL output
2 was pretty knobs, one for the other and the gain for the output level.
And one for spent lamp 100% 100% solid state with all the possibilities it offers.
A filter with a slope not too sweet nor too gross.
a switch to the VU meter.
a switch to past the mic input to the input line
a 15db pad
a phase inversreur
and of course a switch for 48V
in short, everything you need.
UTILIZATION
config is we can more simple and intuitive, the manual is well done himself with drawings of the preamp to power noted its settings once found.
SOUND QUALITY
Sound .... it's that necessarily takes on the meaning of a preamp.
The DI input.
I tested it on my bass and it sounds amazing! I get all its dynamics, the bass is pêchus and very clear highs. I use the preamp transistor 100% for it.
I tested it on my guitars 50-50 (Dean Razorback and Jacobacci studio 3 of 1973). Again the highs are clear and the harmonics of the lamps round out the lower medium is giving them a really nice body.
The mic input.
Engaged with a SM57 on my Guild F512 (well yeah I know this mic like my pocket and I love his sound) in 25% and 75% lamp transistor: I am amazed! This guitar has basic rich and deep bass without beings without clutter and neglected brilliance treble. Everything appears as it should be! I love and I agree!! The highs are crystalline, warm mids and deep bass!
In amp outlet with another SM57 100% lamp. My amp is a Mesa Mini rectify with a baffle made by myself with a Celestion V30 and an Eminence. Again, from the first listen I was ecstatic! Being in an apartment, I can not push the amp so it is necessary for me scratching my decision and what transparency. All frequencies that I research are!
The voice 100% lamp with a TLM 103 lent by a friend, the results still make me pleasure. The voice becomes very present in the mix, the low cut does a very good taf and lightly heat lamp is felt within seconds.
In short, this preamp is transparent transistor and provides a significant color lamp.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for one month now every day I have a moment.
I have tested the TL Audio Gain station in SPL, a 6176 yesterday and at Avalon U5.
What I like least .... a slight noise in the 14KHz with when the gain is strong with the 48V switched (but there is nothing manufacturing defect? Bad wiring? Continued)
What I like most is its ease of use and versatility.
I bought new for € 679 instead of € 799 and comes with 2 UAD Solo offered, so quality / price ratio IS CLEAR THAT I remake this choice!
