All-tube signal processor.

No EQ, no compressor.

48V phantom power, phase inverter, four small tone switches, -20dB pad, two polarities.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use: you only need a good mic.

Same thing regarding the direct input...

SOUND QUALITY



I don't regret having bought it. I also thought about buying an UA LA-610 or the compact Eldax rack processor (very good...).

Wonderful sound. This device emphasizes every source signal. It sounds round but the tube effect is not overemphasized. The high frequency range is well-defined. It's awesome!

The tube sound comes from the quality of the circuitry and the output transformer (Cinemag) rather than the tubes themselves. The unit uses only two tubes but makes the most of them. Not like a 610 or a TL Audio that don't sound like tube.

If you're serious about tube sound, buy it... It's a really good product.

OVERALL OPINION

'Nuff said!
