Guiloux666 « Very good preamp »
Published on 01/19/11 at 01:59- What technology is used? : + Low noise preamp analog digital conv
- What is the connection? : On the front panel Neutrik Combo XLR + TRS
Back: TRS Direct Out Insert + + + 2 ADAT OUT (In + Out) + WordClock
- Is this a rack or rack-mount model? Yes
UTILIZATION
- The general configuration is simple?
You plug, you turn and you listen
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Why use a manual? see, why do a manual!
SOUND QUALITY
- The sound of your instruments or microphones is correctly reproduced?
Good presence across the spectrum, no breath clean, good headroom available for micro timber.
I use extension of a motu 828 mk3 at 44.1 kHz and I prefer the sound of the preamp preamp than the motu. It is true that the knobs a bit small but for use in mobility, sound and live sound, it was all in a 1U rack
- The preamp makes it clear or does it stain?
No particular color (so much better, too bad, it's up to you), I like it.
OVERALL OPINION
- For how long have you been using it?
2 years 1 / 2
- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
In pure preamp connected adat not just once or twice of the AD8000 Berhinger that has nothing to do (not enough headroom, too much wind, no insert, etc. ....
- What is so special that you like best?
I chose this preamp to the possibilities offered by the inserts on each preamp before conversion. While this option is useless in the studio, but live it nikel to "spoil" a kick or compress a snare before AD conversion.
- What is so special that you like least?
the phantom power for 4 preamp rather than preamp but that's just because we had put something in the "love less"
What is your opinion about the value for the price?
Very good because it was the only game of this price to have the phantom switch on the front and taking the insert and direct out before conversion
Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Eyes closed, knowing it is cheaper than two years ago
