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.

D&R Mic Preamps

Does anyone have any word on the D&R mic preamp out of Sweden.? (I think)

There is a local distributor in Texas that I may get a review unit to check out if anyone has anything positive to say about it.

It is supposed to be the same mic preamp from their top of the line Orion consoles which appear to be pretty pricey.

Good Mic Preamp

I am currently using a Groove Tubes GT55 and some scattered Oktavas along with a Tube MP preamp. I've heard people diss my preamp before. How much does a preamp affect the total sound of recorded vocals? What preamp would you suggest withing the $50-$200 range and how would it benifit me? My man goal is to get my vocal tracks to sit better in the mix.

In a post in another forum Roger Nichols states that he did a shoot with a Rane ms1 preamp ($150 retail) and it came out either first or second everytime with an Avalon preamp... he also states that he did a whole steely dan album using nothing but ranes... Any one tried the Rane Ms1 preAMP?
