Now that’s out of the way, the sound out of the A/D converter is exteremely week and tinny…and and very lack-luster. Variable Input Impedance is intended to optimize the inputs for the widest possible range of microphone sources. The ability to vary the input impedance of a microphone preamplifier changes the load the microphone ‘sees’ in the system, dramatically altering its performance and sonic character. This creates a wide range of new sonic possibilities with any modern or vintage condenser, ribbon or dynamic microphone. I bought one of these preamps 4 years ago.
- It solved a headache I have had for a while.
- The sound of this unit has been A/Bed with LA610s and such.
- Great choice in getting used vintage tubes IMHO and many times they outlast new tubes at about the same cost…
- I just wanted to check this is correct as testing with xlr cables is a lot louder.
I resistance training have a slightly older Art MPA II digital unit and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the new MPA II has better front-end gain. Same model names, but I guess Art has been quietly improving them. Want to record acoustic guitar or drum overheads?

The tube warmth is what I have been looking for for years. I use it with the Studio Projects B-1Microphone and an OSP Microphone. I recommend it if anyone is looking for the warmth of a tube. As I will be using the preamp mostly for vocals and bass, I tested both those signals.

The downside here is that you cannot edit the mics separately because they are basically mixed into a stereo signal within the preamp. Anyway, it works well, and it looks pretty. It’s no Avalon AD2022, but if you have the money for the AD2022, you wouldn’t be buying this.
I experiment with tubes in my amps and I’m prolly going to do the same with this. Recorded vocals, bass, acoustic and electric guitars, all with great results. This piece takes me to the next level towards a great sound. Vey easy to use and gives me the flexibility of both instrument and voice combinations I am looking for. They are available to offer you personalized product advice any time you need it.
Unity gain is the “zero” spot where the preamp is applying 0 gain and 0 attenuation. So it would be would fair to say that it’s pretty silly to spend big money on mic pre’s if you’re using pro-sumer grade interfaces / converters? Coz in the end you’re hearing the sound of your interface / converter, rather than the sound of the expensive mic pre.. I changed the lamps by vintage lamps and I have come to appreciate the quality of the circuit.

Essentially you will need an XLR to TRS balanced cable. I have a 610/Solo and experienced low volumes at first. There is a Line/Mic switch on the back. Mic is for live application and is a weaker signal.
