    I plug my guitar on this little preamp 'and often a microphone. For guitar and voice it gives a really cool very warm side. This will work a little his own ... I love her for everything acoustic instruments as the M-Audio DMP3 brings out the color I want out.

    Although the sound is not properly reproduced, but that is precisely why any musician looking. For the micro is the same, here can give some really nice shades. It really brings color, it is not transparent, but I like that!
    I compared it with other (Presonus Blue Tube, Behringer ultragain, Sansom C-Valve) but I think the heat and the sound of M-Audio DMP3 more beautiful.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 3 years and after trying other preamps (Presonus Blue Tube, Behringer Ultragain, Sansom C-Valve), I think I finally found what suits me perfectly.
    Value / excellent price. It is clear that with the experience and the same budget, I would do the same choice.

    They are already known.

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple to use

    SOUND QUALITY

    Quality just okay ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is my first preamp. The backlight of the meter has blown two months after the acquisition. After two years of occasional use, it generates a slight background noise makes it unusable recording condition.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is excellent! For the record, it's perfect. It does not add to its particular color, but that's what I ask. It allows me to record all types of instruments / voices.
    He embellishes the sound without distorting it. Much better than any preamp with a mixer.
    Maybe a little blow when you push the gain, but nothing that is really annoying, even taken for definitive album.

    OVERALL OPINION

    For the price it is excellent!
    I used the preamp until a small table Beringher 4 tracks (as can be done ...), but I could not get a "real" sound, with all the dynamics and precision that I wanted. It took me try this preamp for what was missing.
    I tested it with a studio microphone Beringher B2 and guitar Gibson Les Paul. In both cases, the rendering was both faithful to the source both beautified.
    No complaints. I buy when I have the money to ...

    - What technology is used?
    Analog
    - What is the connection?
    XLR or Jack in between
    Output Jack
    - Is this a rack or rack MODEL?
    Half rack unit.

    UTILIZATION

    - The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
    Could not be easier ;-)
    - The manual is clear and sufficient?
    Yes, but totally useless for the simplicity of the device.

    SOUND QUALITY

    - The sound of your instruments or microphones is properly reproduced?
    I use a little color remaining Bta58 shure with correct precision.

    The deuxime cannal, I plug in my guitar, my Start with a PX4, Pandora gnration 4 me, the coup that the Satus taient even when amateurs start ringing Lukhater Steeve! When is my Ibanez Electro Acoustic Nylon, the sound becomes downright hovering with the DMP3.
    - The prampli is it clear or does it brings a stain?
    Discreet and effective, its cold becomes hot, no collor teachers, on the contrary even the sound is totally neutral.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    Intensively for 3 weeks
    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    + The look
    The VU +
    + The sound that remaining neutral is hot and prcis
    + Not a breath
    Canal + 2
    + The ultra low cut prcis
    - Lack of graduation on earnings, I have felt in the small lines is limited.
    - Outings jack, XLR I prfr but it is a dtail, the outputs can renrtrer jack online on a console and not the addition of pramp console in addition to the DMP3, which ultimately is intelligent.
    - Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
    Too my gnral ... at least 4 that as more chrs brought a color that did not use any style of microphones, not to mention the breath ...
    - How do you report qualitprix?
    Then uh ... unbeatable? it is the only word that comes to mind: D
    - With the exprience, you do again this choice?

    See more advice.

    double basic transistor preamp.

    UTILIZATION

    Two-way:

    + XLR input jack
    output jack
    phase inverter
    pad gain
    Low Cut
    gain control

    SOUND QUALITY

    I start from the bottom in preamp: DMP3 before I used either nothing or a Behringer MIC200.
    if the MIC200 was already a big step forward from "nothing", the DMP3 is another.

    I tested both, compared with my electric guitar, I feel like rediscovering my guitar and the sound has nothing to do.
    easier to describe the sound of the MIC200 compared to the other flat, inaccurate, not dynamic, low and high rough, short, not very beautiful.

    Dual preamp transistor (with transformers it seems)
    2 XLR inputs and 2 high impedance jack inputs
    2 outputs banlanced / unbalanced
    boost / low cut (75Hz) and phase reverse per channel
    diode clipping
    2 vu meter for output level
    Rack size halves

    something I really like is the general appearance of the beast, it looks sturdy, well finished, very professional, with a very nice vintage touch, good large LED, large buttons for switch Everything is clearly readable and accessible (except for phase inversion is back, why?)

    something that I like least are the XLR inputs, ej dutout not find them pleasant to use, the connections are difficult, we feel we're going to break every time …

    UTILIZATION

    General config it does little simpler, there are no functions 36000 Don con branch, basta

    SOUND QUALITY

    to set you about my experience, I used for 1 year and half allesis IO interface 2 and a mixing desk Berhinger, so honest, not the top level preamp (or indeed by the way). I recently bought a motu 828, and with this little preamp, there is no picture, sound really have nothing to do.

    I've had a chance yet to catch that voice and acoustic guitar with a condenser microphone not terrible, but already there or before I put the tones of exit to catch the brilliance of sound, need here, the sound is naturally more open and airy, and to go even further, before I found that my shots with my guitar folk OH Tbone were horrible, here it is much much better, more hollow as before, but with a Spectrum and pretty good presence ...
    Level of use as a low DI is completely different too, before I had a cold without dynamic con here is much more natural ...

    Something which I'm not a big fan so low cut, a little too effective when it activates the sound stiff and loses power and heat.

    Compared to the motu preamps, I have not spent hours doing tests, but those seem slightly better

    The preamp does not color the sound, but that's what I asked qeu

    OVERALL OPINION

    <span style="font-weight: normal;">€ 100 bought used two weeks ago.
    I like it for a vintage appearance and robust, and 2 quality and transparancy of the sound, if it was reffaire it would without hesitation</span>

    Everything has been said. That's exactly what I was looking for.

    UTILIZATION

    I was looking for a simple preamp, but really easy! This is not my only preamp, and I already usually all I need. Basically I was just looking to fill a little lack of saving my sound card (Focusrite Saffire) for my guitar and a mic (MXL 770).



    SOUND QUALITY

    Then, great! It's a really, really transparent preamp, which does not blow. That's all so javais need.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Exellent! If the goal is just to get the gain without his breath, exactly what you need. No staining ... dison if not imperceptible minimum.

    It's been two days that I use it, if something loose I will point out, for now everything is perfect. I think we should just stay consient to buy it. It's a preamp that you arm and you said wow, I rediscovered my microphone. You will get the gain you need, and voila.

    I think that's exactly why he should have everyone, at least those who still use their preamp sound card (even if sometimes they are very good, it is often limited in gain)

    Voila!
