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.

Mackie 32/8 Preamps

The new Mackie boards with the new Pre's.. are they something that gets a great sound or are they overrated?

I am looking into picking up a board now to setup in a small studio that will work with local bands.

Will they do a good job untill higher priced racked gets purchased down the line?

I hear they are very nice...

Good preamp

Interested in getting a good/good enough 8 channel preamp for a front end for my MOTU HD192 interface. I have about 500-700 dollars to spend. I need 8 channels minimum. I would prefer a stand-alone rackmount with 8 channels but if I have to individual 2 channel modules are acceptable. What can someone recommend? Thanks.
