Just to clarify on some previous opinions:
This preamp does not have a model!
knob on top is just an EQ preset selector for some common uses, nothing more.
no digital, no simulation, no treatment, it is not a distortion either, just a preamp + EQ presets.
It is not much, but the purpose of a preamp is to do a few things, just
I've never had a desire to breath with.
further details
it's not really a preamp tube!
amplification is performed by transistors, then the signal passes through a light, because it makes good marketing side.
a reminder, a bad tube amp will always be much worse than a good transistor amp.
as what you buy to not be disappointed or hurt to use it.
UTILIZATION
Simplified Deployment and classic for this type of box.
SOUND QUALITY
I've never used before other preamp, so I only compare with what I heard of tools or micro connected directly.
- Repeating: It gives the gain and clarity to the voice connected to the console. ideal when you have a config in a place not so good not great. mic-> preamp-> console.
- In making sound: SM58 or static-> MIC200-> sound card, clear voice and warm, it's enough to largely non-pro recordings. the result is very nice.
- Involve yourself: electric guitar or bass -> MIC200 -> table, it gives a more clear, more defined, more comfortable and warm.
edit:
I bought a m-audio DMP3 (same price if we take into account that the DMP3 is Stereo).
it's really a cut above the MIC200 (its much more accurate and clear).
I keep the mic 200 because they are quite practical, and always useful to power a condenser microphone, or to walk around without fear of damaging them.
OVERALL OPINION
A very good buy (especially considering the price!) Which is used everywhere (repeated and sound recording voice / guitar / bass).
it is certainly the low-end preamp, but it is a big step forward compared to 'nothing'
I'll probably take a second.
(Re) warning against all advice below is not a device modeling!
edit: bought second
I use it in order to retrieve a guitar amp with two microphones.
