Best value:
Excellent
This is a mic / line and AD / DA converter class A preamp rack 19 "
Eight combo inputs brand Amphenol (XLR / TRS) with compressor function and More to increase the rate at 2: 1 or 4: 1
Display 5 LEDs per channel assignable 48V 2 groups of 4 channels.
Inputs 1 and 2 switchable intruder / lines.
8 line outputs switchable A / DD / A.
Possible recording 44.1 Khz 96 SMUX
UTILIZATION
Configuration is very simple, sync is done manually by selecting what you want, ADAT, Word Clock, Internal.
No problem it syncs very well Adat I did not ssay the wordclock.
The compressors are interesting I still have to learn (I would say more in a few times).
The manual I have not read because the use is easy if you know a little of the principle of a preamp.
The use of compressors is simple there just has a knob to adjust the compression.
SOUND QUALITY
I have just so I will make a Update my mind later ...
I did try a few records for keyboards / piano sound is really clear, no particular color.
Another test performed with a micro Rode NT1, I am currently left hungry because I set the gain to 15 hours to get a decent level, you have to play with the compressor for more dynamic ... but that the it anyway !!!
No breath found the sound is clean and transparent rather to my surprise.
As soon as you push the gain to more than 15 hours there! You really get the power and it's not bad at all.
OVERALL OPINION
Like I said I use it for a few days, I posted my opinion because it is a machine that we know little of the notice.
I use a voice in Mindprint where headroom and still higher than the Mk2 Dynamic, but the result is very good if you know how to adjust the machine to add eight inputs to my sound card RME HDSP 9652 is a really good value for money !!!
I could take a Ada8200 (not comparable anyway) but I trusted the Focusrite quality and I do not regret my choice.
Compared to the Mk2 I have preferred the compressors and more particularly the Adat return to better manage my retours.ça is really great and it lacks the basic version Mk2.
On the reserve gains I think it was designed for miking dynamic which could explain this subject, but do not worry there is excellent !!!
In this price range I would do without this choice problem.
