SOUND QUALITY

By o start?
;-)
2 expriences use o this thing put me knees

Recording first, when I com srieusement dessprer an AKG 414 that sounded much too hard and too smooth ... quasi "Stril" through my audio interface pramp
It is thanks to my Discoveries solo610 the true potential of 414, and I began to understand how to use it. I do not know if all other pramps quality of the AKG rvlent with the same insightful, but this couple-the perfect means to distill both a sound and chased pais . A capture proximity with a powerful source, the two knobs noon we understand what it means to sound "in your face": it is standard!
For something more "Aryan", I prfre that moves away from the microphone to drive down the prserver these beautiful harmonics that illuminate the socket. Naturally, the more one moves away the microphone and the more we will capture in the studio rsonnances or pice: The solo610 will work with the microphone to "redraw" the space with a precision of focus diabolical! Obviously, a wrong or happen trs trs well as the acoustics of the space is good or bad. But if the instrument sounds, if the pice sounds, then this is heaven: there is more that shall decide on what you want and find a good investment to get it!

The Solo610 is not a kind of lamp pramp low-cost "and more"
here, no question of floutter, Global Warming or soften the sound. The Solo610 the contrary, above all, a preamp trs prcis rvler will work the microphone. Then you can DCID to compress / saturate the sound by pushing the lamp, but comes more!

Scne on, I used to sing in a OM7 branch in an old Soundcraft Series 200B, rpute (rightly) for the quality of these pramps. I considered myself well gt o until I put the Solo610 between the micro and the table: what a slap!
And the Shure eta58. I HAS yet for years it carrment the miracle! The poverty of this microphone, it's something that I did not understand, given the number of artists (McCarthney among others) who sing the inside with the couple Solo610 / eta58 (and I guess it would be the same with the SM58), I finally understood. This is the 1st time I made the exprience of his "rock 'n' roll" is honey, sprinkled with coffee beans pils, immersed in a pan milk bubbling more or less depending on the dose Drive, ;-). It looks like the love Solo610 micro bump ... it is as if the preamp has the ability to "liquefy" the mid-bass to make the qt spread molten ;-)
I'm still the same income OM7 for air that has my voice and not to find the problem of feedback typical of Shure. Audix on the contribution of pramp is more subtle, but the chemistry is no less INTERESTED: keep the transparency of the OM7 while gaining in wealth, body, flexibility, .. . in a word in music.

OVERALL OPINION

I could write pages on this louages ​​pramp but we have to address these limits, or possibly default:
I guess everyone does not use tapes capture in singing, folk, and ambient ... because, in my case, ca does not: 60dB maximum gain is more than enough for the capacitor, but too little for the microstrip passive. My Tbone RB100 may be particulirement shy, but that gnralement Whereas 80dB are Necessary for a ribbon. The Solo610 s'avre noisy when pushed in the trenches, but it makes perfect sense.

Apart from a, I do not see what to repprocher ....
The price may be?
In terms of tariff, we are trs sr beyond the hundred dollars that it cost pramps Chinese can make good services. But once we were able to compare the two, is easily recognized that the diffrence in price is justified.
