Jack / XLR input / output
Gain and volume knob
Limiter
20dB Pad
Phase inversion
48V Phantom Power
Supplied AC power (9V, 1.3A)
For 35 €, it is strictly necessary.
UTILIZATION
it is very simple.
one branch entering one of two inputs (jacks or XLR), ditto for the exit.
whether a power supply, you press the small button 48 V.
And we turn the gains and volume.
It heats up a bit, but nothing too bad.
SOUND QUALITY
amplifies it.
it does its job, it does not seem too blow. after, is that it colors too, not enough? I'm not good enough material to tell.
OVERALL OPINION
for about a year.
I use it for:
guitar and bass for home recording, the input line.
Singing and instrument mic with XLR in home studio.
I also used to live and repeat, for a 48V power supply, and to manage 2-3 instruments on the same output (by changing the volumes myself, and managing the power supply).
he does his job. it is inexpensive, reliable now (again, concert in the dust, ok, nothing wrong).
we'll see if it still stands in 5 or 10 years.
for studio use, I find it does not blow much (much less than the preamp of my integrated audio card M).
for 35 €, if you fall on a flawless model (the problem with the entry-level), it does very well what he is asked: preamplify and 48V supply.
For the real studio, it will surely be inadequate. but hey, this is € 35, not 500.
