Hello all!
Could one use them outside of a studio? They seem to have useful features, such as the scratch noise filter, etc.
Are they good and how does one connect them up to the Rogers 5/8 etc.
How do they perform ?
Thank you
Alexander
I received a wonderful Christmas present from a dear friend of mine this morning:
A Focusrite ISA One mic preamp. I was overwhelmed by how thoughtful this gift was. I'm looking forward to using it. ;)

Hi gang,
Some of you know I did try a kit of microphone-parts.com
I ran to a few problem with the kit. It didn't work and after a great help doing a dozen test I ordered another circuit without the transformer.
I build the new circuit and got the same results.. so I'm in need of another transformer.
It's a small 6.5 : 1 output transformer.
Dear Audio friends,
a basic question :
how do you measure how loud an audio preamp can go ? How loud it can pre-amplify the music ?
Which is the value that I should be looking for ?
Thank you very much .
Kind Regards
Alexander
I'm pretty much in agreement with Dan Thompson's ( no relation, LOL) remarks on the video below.
Personally, I use them more for analytical referencing; checking for too much effect on certain tracks, panning, space and separation, listening for things like a short/cut fade, clicks or pops, etc.
is it possible to change levels between -10 and +4 with transformers?
When using an Amp simulator in Sonar x3, I have switched the Hi-Z input on my Roland Quad Capture to on, and plugged my electric guitar into said input.
When Micing my amp, I have switched the Hi-Z input to off.
I want to try and use the Emulated Line Out on my amp (Marshall MG 50DFX), to plug into the Hi-Z on my Quad Capture, instead of an Amp simulator.
So often I go back and listen to iconic albums like physical graphite , or nevermind(don't kill me for putting nirvana in the same sentence as Zeppelin lol.) and wonder how with such limited technology due to analog recording(which I love) how is it that they were able to get such killer sound?
I am mildly versed in electronics. I understand that when you plug a mic into a mic preamp the mic expects to "see" or "react" to a specified impedance. I think that you want the mic preamp circuit to be x amount higher impedence then the mic (maybe I have that backwards).
Hi Guys,
I haven't been around much lately, fortunately, because I've actually been busy with projects.
I am working pre-production with an artist right now that is about to record a full album here at my studio and I am trying to figure if it is worth it to upgrade my converters for it. The album will be folk/southern rock stuff.
