So I had my eyes on the Manley VoxBOX (mainly for its pre) as I had previous experience with it and it suited my voice quite well. But the other day I read about the SPL GoldMike, and its updated version, the MK2, and it caught my eye.

Anybody had any expirience with this preamp
is it any good for acoustic stereo recording
thanks!

Just trying to find out more about SPL's GoldMike MK2 Mic Pre - if you own one I would like to hear your thoughts on the unit.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

What do u think which one is a good mic preamp.
SPL Gold mike vs APHEX 207D. or any other in same price range
thanks

So it's great for drums. Can it control the dynamic range for vocals? like a peak limiter. I know its not a compressor/ limiter, but can it simulate one? I've nevere used it before.

In reading the description at the spl-usa.com website, they mention that the gain of the separate solid state amp and tube amp is additive. That is 30dB ss plus 26dB tube plus 7dB Lundahl transformer for a total of 83dB gain. Am I interpreting this correctly?

Has anyone had any experience with this preamp? This will be my first preamp purchase, (used for main vocals) and it sounded great in the shop. I've tried the AMEK CIB, AU6176, and they seem to sound superior on some material, but not like double the price better. Is anyone using an SPL Channel One and able to comment/ I'd appreciate your input.

I purchased an SPL Stereo Vitalizer Jack from Coast Recording in Cali last week. What arrived yesterday, however, is not the Jack model, but what appears to be its precursor (the manual has a 1993 copyright).

I recently discovered this interesting compressor and I'm thinking about getting one to use as an "add-on"-compressor for drums. I haven't had the chance to try one out yet, so has anybody used the dynamaxx and how did you like it ? The purpose as I said is not as a part of the recording channel but mainly for compression FX. Looking forward to any comments, thanx.

Anyone have any experience with either a SPL Tube Vitalizer or their new MK2-T mastering unit?

thanks
