UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, large knobs specifically adjustable (fortunately, see next §)
Manual very clear to the uninitiated, useless for others!


SOUND QUALITY

I do not like the sound reproduced, cold, dull and rough. I do not feel the "warmth" of the lamp. Moreover, how a pre-amp powered 12V can operate a lamp that requires anode voltage of over 200V (unless you go through a booster circuit voltage, which will bring noise, blast and deterioration of the signal)? ?

I said happily as knobs can be set precisely, because I have big problems to breath. I was able to optimize the signal noise by looking for a specific position. The output volume knob varies greatly around the 15% of its course, and there begins a nasty breath ...

I recommend the equipment connected to the inputs low.

Finally, the rotary switch for selecting eq causing serious Plops between two contacts, which, when amplified, are a threat to the hardware and ears ...

OVERALL OPINION

I was using my microphone input sax active search for a small stain that I never really achieved, apart from a stray breath!

I tested other preamp rack of Behringer. Some are better, but nothing more.

The big minus: the breath

Value for money?
- I'm not satisfied, so it's always too expensive for the quality achieved!

With the experience I would buy anything but that.
