This may explain some misunderstanding on the net about the gain of the preamp. I guess AU should have equipped its preamps with lamps differ depending on the series? These are brand lamps JJ who have been provided.
Two lamps are used: a 12AX7/ECC83 and another doc. I also have a preamp CHANDLER Germanium (much more)Īnd VTB1 STUDIO PROJECT (cheap and very good value for money!) Good qual / price because it is the high end (thank you UREI) Light, simple, portable, strong and big sound. I've had 10 days and I used to microphones (static or tapes) or low (big sound guarantees!) I do not put as qques 10 dB over the gain would have to work even more distortion. In short its a légeremnet colorful, but not distorted. This model is less transparent than his brother Solo 110 (Class A) but enjoys the benefits of the lamp (light compression, enhanced harmonic. The output level is enough to boost a low-level instrument, or a ribbon mic. You can really work for a small gain its large and clear, and high gain for a compressed sound and aggressive. Įxcellent sound, light and very deep clean. I would not put 10 because I have not come to know the cutoff frequency of the filter. Two switches on the back: one for the grounding of the mass, one for the output level (line or mic). Switches for DI / MIC, Impedance HI / LO, 48vlts IN / OUT, low-cut filter ON / OFF and phase in / out. Gain, volume, two large buttons well beefy. I would not put 10 because they could have put an output jack (for home recording).
Small portable box with a beautiful handle. XLR mic or line level (though seen for the stage). I would do this choice without hesitation I use it for about 2 years, it has nothing to do with digital preamp sound cards, it adds a magic touch! I add a speaker simulation bass amp and then the result is very good Use that I love plugging is particularly low in the DI with a little gain.
More transparent, open, the more colorful, hot, compressed by the lamp. We have a large range of sound, according to the amount of gain or more precisely the balance between volume and gain + choice of micro and positioning. It takes time to find the right formula between settings, the choice of microphone (Neumann TLM 103 and SM57 mainly in my case), the positioning of the microphone to the source.
The manual is clear and useful to understand the overall functioning of the unit. Zum Ende noch ein Danke an Thomann die beim Versand wieder souveränste Arbeit geleistet haben.So simple, volume, gain, XLR input with 48V power supply for micro to the rear, a DI input on the front (jack), a low-cut vor allem der 1176, LA-2A und Pultec EQ klingen super sexy und machen Spass ohne Ende. Die 14 Plugins die kostenlos an Bord sind, sind zusätzlich eine nette Sache. Neve treiben das ganze vermutlich noch auf die Spitze, was ich aber noch nicht getestet habe. Zum Mic Preamp kann ich nur sagen das er bereits blank ohne Unison Plugins mindestens so gut klingt wie mein vorheriges Setup bei dem ich einen analogen Vintage Mic Preamp zwischen Mikro und Interface hatte. Meine Speaker und Kopfhörer klingen an den Ausgängen fast wie neue und bessere. es ist ein richtiger "Upstep" zu allen Interfaces im 100 - 300 Euro Bereich die ich kenne und gehört habe. Genau mein Budget, genau mein Bild von Ästhetik, gekauft und was soll ich sagen. Dann habe ich die Werbung für das Apollo Solo USB3 gesehen das gezielt mit "Nur für Windows" beworben wird.
Ich habe in den letzten Jahren des öfteren mit einem Auge Richtung Universal Audio geschielt, leider war da immer das Problem das ich einfach ein Windows Anhänger bin und viele Stimmen (online wie privat) sagten das das Apollo Twin USB3 auf vielen Rechnern Probleme macht und mir auch 770Euronen einfach auch ein wenig zu viel waren.
