UTILIZATION

the manual is that the pub marsue and 2 pages to understand what is the knobs and buttons
this is elementary level, but beware, the quality is there and in addition, it becomes hard to find NEW, there's a clone in PIVAY

SOUND QUALITY

very good preamp, I use it on:
-An old roland groovebox, spotless, no hum or loss
Thereminn-one, hum because I have no grounding in the thereminn so when the thereminn is OFF, the land reverts to direct you just reduce or remove in this case
- A digital battery of 2011, I had to channel 2 inputs for an output level correct, and bah hum no nothing, even vacuum

OVERALL OPINION

18 months, nickel, less than 1 second to be operational for the ignition

There continues to be phantom power per channel. When working on one of them, a red flag that. It's convenient.

I lack of experience for advice now truly objective, but in any case did not jump to the ears. I've never said "what's rotten!", At least not because of prampli. It must be mild but certainly better to start with, I think has a very very good tools.
Unlike what I saw on the forum, I have no breath is clean and has not humming.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a year. I've never tried to compare to other models. He s doing a good job and I've never complain.
I love its simplicity of use and rugged feel that sky is clear (it is heavy).
The report qualitprix is ​​relatively good, it has 8 channels for a relatively low price.
With the exprience I would discover other models, to enrich my Ear. That said, the price I recommend everyone who has a small budget but ® religion, however, enjoy a record 8 tracks simultaneously (I think especially drummers).
