All user reviews of 5/5 for the Audient MICO

everything should be for me apart from the insert that is not necessarily a concern for a share sessions with beginners who do not take up

UTILIZATION

hard to make as simple and intuitive look we all understood

SOUND QUALITY

is a true own case that price especially if you are more followers of the lamp or tape and want to keep the color of your microphone even if the option of HMX simulates a pseudo color which can be time time interresting

OVERALL OPINION

-How long have you use it?
for three months

-What is so special that you love the most, least?
most - sound quality
I repeated the least but no insert

-How would you rate the quality / price?
With experience, you do again this choice?
great value for money I was looking for a pre-amp pro neutral I was part of the Euro 1500 but pre-amp and convinced me I do not regret this choice
yes I would do I know that this choice will always be a place over time

The MICO is not a mirror but a pramplificateur mic / line Two-channel transistor APRS operator of the manufacturer's handbook, the same circuits pramplification
A class that ASP008 ASP8024 and the brand (for those who connatraient dja!).

It intgre home of a CAN 3 frquences Sampling selectable, ie 44.1 / 48/96khz matre when operating in digital audio sync. It can also be controlled, as a slave, any frquence Sampling of incoming via the word clock input frequency drives in the range 32 192 kHz. In both modes (digital audio matre or slave), the converter always operates a resolution of 24 bits.

Level connections, facing rear, there are two analog inputs symtriques combo XLR / Jack 6.35 and 2 outputs corresponding analog XLR.

We regret may be just the absence of insert-type connectors to handle the incoming signal by a compressor / limiter for example before attacking the converter, especially since the available Reserved dynamic output level is not good Pharaonic be: the maximum output level is +18 dBu fixed effect, which REPRESENTATIVES so the top of the scale conversion numrique 0 dBFS. For signals of high level or at least occasionally levs, we must choose, before taking either of Modra pramplification level to maintain a sufficient margin, or to use the -10 db pad switch Submitted on the front of each channel.

Numrique for the connection, there is always an opposite rear output AES / EBU XLR and S / PDIF coaxial and versions available in ADAT optical, which is rare in this type of device. Between a BNC word clock on the table complte, ts a slecteur 4 entries such as "dip" to select the frquence of Sampling, (the select ncessaire is that the device operates in matre or slave), the indication of references sync digital audio internal or external 75 ohm termination or no termination for between the word clock which eliminates the need to connect a BNC T and a cap of 75 ohms impdance between the WC to the case where this device would be the last slave in the chain word clock .

This device 1/2U format and can be rack APRS manual in combination with a second MODEL via an optional kit which I do not know the price.

I put 8 / 10 because of the absence of insert jack trs but I'm really demanding.

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear trs with photos illustrating each part and function Describes. It is well organized with a logical progression in the A review of these.

In front of the two channels, one finds from left to right, a power supply fantme slecteur of overcoming a 48 V -10 db pad switch, gain the knob pramplification trs race agr Able flexible and prcis, a peak-nitre 4 diodes -36, -12, -6 and 0dBFS (= saturation) that works remarkably well. Just below a low-cut filter 12 dB / octave cutoff frquences three selectable via a combination of two buttons (ingnieux!) 40, 80 or 120 HHZ. And finally switch "rev" for reverse that is phase inversion, for example if you take even one instrument with two microphones placed more or less out of phase.

This is to get what is between the other spcificit of this device: the prsence supplmentaire a function on each channel diffrent trait in nature and that an int prsentent rt mainly in the case of a power strophonique. Namely the left channel function of harmonic frequency drives corrles addition to the input signal that can be used better pramplifi diffrencier the left channel of the right, increasing the impression of spatial and the right channel with a knob race varies the phase of right channel continumment of 0180 for combined or not with the classical phase reverse to correct prcisment dphasages = increasing to between left and right channels. Exploitation of this feature requires a subtle and therefore impractical COST cabin spare technique of local registration and trs fontion also good. I could test it with two microphones KM184 on acoustic piano baby grand. With rglage MODR rsultat gives a really INTERESTED in some placements of microphones.

SOUND QUALITY

In terms of the quality of the processed signal either at Tage pramplification or at the converter, the sound is really a transparency and DEFINITIONS exceptional in absolute terms and throughout the band original frequency drives, and more so in this price (750 euros). For some microphones have adquate you rcuprez assurment signal quality trs qrande prservant completely characters of the instrument. For me the main strength of this unit.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought one month ago and I am satisfied with TRS.
What I like most in the first place is its transparency, then the performance of its rglages trs ct and finally its intuitive and Aesthetics.
What I like least is its dynamic Reserved just a little bit sometimes and then insert the failure to take even if due to the absence of distortion or background noise moidre can a record level a bit more and increase MODR APRS once the signal level recorded without problem to the mix made for critical management level.
The report qualitprix is ​​unbeatable for acoustic instruments including the stamp must be respected including the voice.
I referrer that choice without hsiter because it corresponds completely to my needs.
