What do people think of the Sytek MPX-4Aii ?

What design does it use? And is it in a league above small console pre's? Would it considerably improve my sound if I was currently using the latter?

I'm just curious. I have the mpx-4aii and love it, and know there are a lot of users. But I don't know anyone to use the mpt-1.

I'm not looking to buy, I'm just curious. I would love to demo one someday.

thanks,

I was doing a recording session last week and was recording drums. I ran out of mics for the drum kit so one of the guys brought a SM58 with him. We used the sm 58 Hanging right over the Ride cymbal, about 2 inches up and away from the bell.
I ran that thru the RNP preamp and I was pleasantly surprised. Acutally blown away.

Anyone feel like comparing the sound of the 2? Just sold my Focusrite Octopre to fund a new RME fireface and Samplitude software. But now I need some pres. I was thinking of grabbing the Sytek 4 channel pre w/ the Burr brown option.

Sytek has 2 flavors of pre, 4 total.

Studio Projects, 8 pre's. All Burr brown.

Hello all. Just purchased the Sytek MPX-4Aii mic preamps, and will apparently need to pad down the signal in order to run the pres "hot" to my DAW. Any ideas about the most cost-effective way to achieve this?

I have a Mackie 1202-- will this work? I suppose I could run two channels through the main outs and two channels through the Auxes. Just wondering if there's a better way.

Ok guys. I've searched Sytek in this site, read all of the posts, and I still have some questions.

To start, I can't afford a 4 channel Sebatron nor do I see it happening any time soon. I need 4 nice channels and it just so happens my tax return will pay for a 4 channel Sytek.

What I want is some honest opinions.

I'm looking to buy a preamp, gonna use it for recording electric/acoustic guitars, bass and some vocals. I've seen quite a few people recommend it and I was wondering, for $900 (which can be bought on ebay), is there a better preamp?
I'm interested in getting the best sound quality possible with roughly a grand. If there is anything better than this puppy please bring it up.

Just curious- anyone tried one? Retail about 1K for one channel :D

So I was looking at this really yummy pre-loved Neotek Elite for around $16k, checking my bank balance,...then making some credit enquiries lol, envisioning the freak-out session that would happen when my woman finds out what I've just bought for $16k...when I really got serious, I started *thinking*. .

Hi all and happy holidays!

Anyone has done a comparison between a 4ch Sytek MPX- 4Aii and a 4ch Sebatron vmp 4000e?-
