Preamp 8-channel transistors Rack 1 unit (ooh there at the time of vintage fashion and the lamp, it starts badly ...) ... mic inputs on the front! (Ouch! ouch! Ever! ... Cà does not help ...) ... Gain knobs on the front staggered Ok .... Phantom power block 4, yeah ... Well too bad, I bought it without thinking too much and now he will do with it, especially since the recording of the album begins tomorrow morning 24-track live and I absolutely had eight more entries for me ADAT Login MOTU 896 MK3 Hybrid my. Good surprise: ADAT as well, which means that I have more than 8 analog outputs to connect to my Soundcraft. It syncs any branch and in a flash, the MOTU and Protools have not budged ... Not bad ...

UTILIZATION

The config could not be easier, no need manual, a good point when we have lots of things to do. Just a quick look at the manual is very clear, nothing to say ...

SOUND QUALITY

I tested the input gain, no problems. Very little breath even with my Sennheiser MD441 which seems to be loaded. A good dynamic sound neutral and bright. The unit even defends preamps and converters meet the formidable MOTU. Same test with RME Fireface 800, the queen. Well of course there is a little lower but for the price it is very good. All microphones spend, Neumann and ribbon microphones, frankly it's the ball! I began to be reassured and my first impression is forgotten.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a good 2 hours and Digimax FS does not stop to amaze me. In addition he manages well with the PRE MOTU that I have and I know now that I can attack my album in peace.
What I like most about the Presonus Digimax FS? :
Construction reassuring its rich connectivity, there for everyone, clean sound, ease of adaptation in an existing set, everything is sharp and clear, even the manual ...
What I like least? :
Initially the idea of ​​front mic does not seem the best taste but it saves me finish 8 points to the patch, especially when it comes to cabin instruments connect in 3 seconds ...
Gains staggered entry ... Finally we made it
Conclusion: An excellent versatile device that does good work, happy ending for a purchase initially thought too but I do not regret that choice.
