    2 preamp channels, lamps, even with limiter worclock-IN and Digital output.

    the test sound-on-sound:

    the official data sheet:
    http://www.aphex.com/aphex-products/207d-two-channel-tube-preamp/

    UTILIZATION

    Ultra simple to use, however for me 2 negative points:
    - The non-serrated knobs (I often use stereo jack)
    - The clip limiter (not in use)

    my choice was turned towards this product because I needed a preamp with AES digital output

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is beautiful, and not necessarily typical.
    I used ribbons (T.Bone RB500), and really a bit of breath ...
    The sound is very transparent. …

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is beautiful, and not necessarily typical.
    I used ribbons (T.Bone RB500), and really a bit of breath ...
    The sound is very transparent.
    Simply turn it on at least 5 minutes before using.
    the eyelet, I get a signal / noise of the same order as my ULN2 report (Metric Halo) ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    For several years, I use it, it is a high quality product in my equipment.

    I would be 10/10 if the surge had worked (but it may be only a certain series that was sold cheap £ 299!). And at this price, I mad a little limiter ...

    It is a 2 channel preamp equipped with 2 tubes, one per channel, with a converter that allows you to exit the digitized sound to SPDIF.
    There is a phantom power per channel, switch polarity, a pad, a low-cut and an effect called miclim which is a limit.
    Like the 207 it has inputs and outputs XLR and 6.35. More AES / EBU and SPDIF input word clock.
    classic rack. Can be encoded in 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, and receive a clock.

    UTILIZATION

    Hyper simple. Heat must leave before connecting or it sends clacs.
    the manual is in English rather complete.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I find it quite transparent. I also have a QuadMic. it is difficult to objectively compare but I think the 207 …

    SOUND QUALITY

    I find it quite transparent. I also have a QuadMic. it is difficult to objectively compare but I think the 207 is more accurate, more clear. I have not enough experience. In all cases the signal-noise ratio is better than the RME (leaf).

    OVERALL OPINION

    Very little, one week.
    I like this machine, it allows me to have two more tracks on my Digi002.
    I have not had the opportunity to try out its competitors.
    I have touched U.S. $ 299 so the PQ was excellent report.
    We'll see, it's Rican it looks sturdy.
