Advice on adding mic/instr preamps to my studio rack on a budget
Forums
I have a small semi-portable studio rack system which I use to record my own music as well as band sessions. My gear includes an ART Dual MP preamp box which gives me two decent mic/instr preamps that works well for certain mics and instruments, but I frequently need a few more preamps. Right now, I fall back on my Zoom R16 channel amps, but I'd like a better option.
Demagnetizing mic preamps
Forums
If anyone here can answer it, it will be Boswell.
I read over on GS that transformers (notably Studer) may need to be demagnetized. If this is true, I would expect all transformers would be suspect over time. Is this true?

Mic preamps, eq, mics
Forums
I've been using some different combinations
Pacifica preamp thru nail compressor by a designs
Loving the punch,clarity and dimension.
---
Ua 710 and the hammer eq by a designs got a cool 70's vibe for sure. The hammer is very musical it allows for suttke and drastic changes without damaging the audio.
it's got some cool mojo. A lot of mood.

Upgrading mic preamps ?
Forums
Hi everyone, I'm finally in a position to upgrade my microphone preamp but I'm finding it difficult to make a decision on what's available within my budget. I'm using a Neumann 103 and a RODE NT1 and an RME Fireface UCX interface. I'm looking for a warm, punchy, almost vintage vocal sound. This is my short-list (between €900 and €1,100) - any advice would be appreciated.

More or Less flavor (Preamps)
Forums
Hi there,
I currently have a LA-610, a UA 7-410, a ISA two and Focusrite liquid saffire.
The 410 is good for the versatility but, doesn't have the same dynamic and clean levels as the ISA. I got the LA-610 after the 710 and realise that the 710 is good but doesn't reach the sweetness of the LA-610.

Converters or preamps?
Forums
Later this year I'll be looking to upgrade either of those items. Because my needs have changed, I'm only interested in 2-track (or stereo) converters or preamps. I've no need to record a full band all-at-once in a large studio room.
The convo/preamp will be used for vocals, acoustic guitars, brass/woodwinds, etc.

Impedance question with mic preamps.
Forums
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).

Adjusting AMEK 9098 mic preamps CMRR trimpots and capacitor?
Forums
Dear Friends
Please forgive me, i'm new to this forum, sol maybe this thread discussed before.
I'm experimenting with a diy mic preamp, based on AMEK 9098 mic preamp schematic.
I'd like to know, is there a good/reasonable method to set the input variable capacitor and the two trimpots(LOW/HIGH CMRR TRIM)?
On the attached schematic the parts: VC1,VR14,VR15.
