Makes a bit noisy

Markus185, 18.09.2012

Unfortunately, the Presonus can not meet the expectations of a semi-professional. It is just enough for ambitious homerecorders. The TubePre V2 is murmurable and amplifies an AKG C3000 only usable when you turn it 3/4 up. A pity, because that would be a reason for an external preamp: low-noise pre-amplification.

The other additional features, such as the phase shift, I would trade at any time. Good microphones have a home sound filter from home, so it does not necessarily need in the preamp.

The tube must be dosed very sparingly, otherwise it simply tugs. However, this is such a thing, because you notice the tube also only about half of the control path. After all, you get a "velvety" compression.

One thing I did not understand at the best will and with my order also overlooked: Why has the device no on / off switch? If I'm mixing, the part does not have to go now. The entire IT division has already set off in the direction of "Green" some years ago. As a manufacturer of music accessories perhaps you should think about it.

Overall, I find the value for money not convincing. If you have a sound card in the middle area, or a smart desk, does not need the TubePre V2. The quality increase is too small and the price at least 60 euros too high.

Very good !

I have been buying this pre-amp for a while, I used it a lot at the beginning before to have more high-end equipment, but to start is very good, the price is not excessive, but It works very well for bass and guitar.
For the voice I do not like the rendering, after each his preferences but in any case for a beginner who wants to make the sound I strongly advise, it colors a little sound (pre-amp lamp), this Which gives a better sound than a sound without pre-amp.
Besides this preamp is advised by several home studio guide to begin!
