Published on 11/15/11 at 10:264-channel analog preamp rack 1 unit, no converter built.
I / O mic / line XLR rear and front to Z by Jack High instrumentals.
Minimalist settings on the front, for front:
- Input gain coupled with a color indicator in the On / Off button (see doc SSL for colors and levels)
- VHD knob to harmonic distortion
- Switch high impedance (HiZ) to use the preamp as a DI of instruments.
- Switch 48V
There is no adjustment dynamics or EQ.
UTILIZATION
Use more than simple impedance is adjusted according to what is returned in (microphone or instruments) you set the gain, saturation harmonics and roll my chicken ...
The On / Off contains a diode that takes three colors to the input level: green, yellow and red. we know that saturates ... when the LED changes from yellow to red, too late!
SOUND QUALITY
This is an SSL preamp very clear, no heat as one might find on a Neve type preamp, Focusrite. It provides the perfect for transitional batteries, also great for acoustic guitars with crystalline KM184.
I also used with Neuman M149 for male voices! ... it gives a very detailed and clear. You can add a little saturation harmonics on acoustic guitars to soften the sound somewhat.
I tested also with a Royer R121 ribbon microphone, with 75dB of gain, the preamp ensures no problem with this type of microphone. The whole set of MESA transplanted with saturated fat gives her a brutal slamming crillarde without distortion in the treble.
In short, wherever you need a clear and detailed.
The heat brought by the VHD circuit does not completely natural compression or "heat" of a lamp! For it is to be preferred to the universal audio.
OVERALL OPINION
I have 2 years and uses mainly acoustic drums and guitars, I used it a few times on fretless bass for games in the treble melody of the instrument ... great!
I regularly use the following preamps: Focusrite ISA, Universal Audio LA610, 6176, 710, Avalon 737, Manley, Neve
Plus: SSL sound light and airy
The least: no view, just an LED that turns red when you clip ...
One of the cheapest preamp channel price with excellent quality.
We need a clear and detailed preamp like this in his park, I would do this purchase again.
