I'm looking at these and wanted some input. Grace design 101 vs gt brick vs summit audio 2ba-221. I know thats kind of all over the place but what I'm looking for needs to be a.) fairly versatile b.) different sounding than my firefaces preamps c.) a worthwhile step up in sound quality from the preamps in the rme.
like last time with the mic closet, the Alice, Kel HM-1 and lawson L47mp all compliment my collection wonderfully! (i'm never gonna give in and get a Neumann), now only a Royer and an RCA are missing.
so back to the Mic Pre's
I use a Soundcraft Ghost (into MOTU 896 & Alesis AI-3 [AD is my next fixup after the pre's]) but when i need some extra flavour i turn to these:
Hello again, fine folks,.
Unfortunately due to the unexpected demand the MAXIMUS preamp stock has now sold out it’s first pressing.
This means that, currently, waiting times may be up to three or four weeks from initial placement of order.
Please contact the respective Sebatron dealers or Sebatron Direct for availability and pricing.
I know you guys are tired of Vintech posts but please help me out..
I've been looking in on buying a preamp for some time now
(mostly to track my music and for vocal recordings in the future)
and I've decided that Vintech is the way to go...
I was wondering if anybody knows anything about a rnae fmi 14 preamp. Curious if these are any good. Can't find much info on google and searching this site gives me nothing. TIA
What I'm looking for is a nice clean preamp and have been going nuts over the possibilities for my scenario. I have some assorted mics but my primary vocal tracking mic is a RODE K2 that I want to strictly "capture". I've been using the onboard preamps on my aging Yamaha 01V (no inserts, have ADAT & S/PDIF in/out) that seem quite limited in regards to headroom, resolution and punch.

I'm an R&B vocalist described as having a clear 1st Tenor crooner type voice (good low range too). I'm looking to upgrade my current Studio Projects C1 mic to a U87. For mic preamps I currently have an Avalon M5, RME Fireface 800 (mic preamps on it), and an ART Tube MP.
i was woundering is using a preamp essenstial? whats the difference between plugging a mic directly to a board and using a pre? its been jogging my mind. everyone always says you gotta use a pre. i agree but would it accually make what your Micing sound better?
