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 you plug a cable, no safety lock ...
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>
