Description

A preamplifier, also known as a preamp, is an electronic amplifier that converts a weak electrical signal into an output signal strong enough to be noise-tolerant and strong enough for further processing, or for sending to a power amplifier and a loudspeaker. Without this, the final signal would be noisy or distorted.

Preamp question

I currently own a PreSonus firestudio...a AKG perception 200...3 sm57's and a Shure beta 57. I can actually make a good mix since ive been recording for over 5 years...and am a junior in college for music industry. I think its time i step it up and get a good preamp. My question is. should i spend a grand or two on a single channel preamp? or a grand or two on a multi-channel preamp...
