Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this after reading several reviews, but no one mentioned the size of this thing! You will need two hands to tote it so don't expect to take this into the field with you. That said, it is a very worthwhile addition to a broadcast level recording setup. If you are not using top quality mics, you are are not going to get full value from this piece of hardware, and it is not cheap. Add half a star to my rating as feel I have to dock it half a point for being so pricey. Performance is full five star, so have no fear on that score.
Read other reviews. This is not going to mellow your input through the magic of a tube modeled preamp. Not at all. What it will do, and do flawlessly, is boost the record levels very nicely without adding any additional noise to the signal. Yes, it will smooth out the sound, but not dramatically.
I do voice only, so I am not going to comment on using this as DI device. For voice, with a top line dynamic mic, I've found that the voice comes across very pure, with no additional color added and just a hint of smoothing on the rasps. With a condenser, there is no detectable noise added when the phantom power is used, a problem I had when using the phantom power from my mixer.
Before buying this unit, I'd tried mic preamps from Behringer (tube) and Audio Buddy (non-tube). The Berhinger was the closest to what I was looking for, but it did not sound as clean as Robbie does. Yes, the price does make a difference.
Is it worth the price difference? Only your ears can answer that. For me, the answer is YES!
