Overview

A tube stage inside a compact stainless steel body gives this preamp its warmth, according to the seller copy. It works as a single channel in front of a recorder to soften digital recordings.

The reason to buy is a small, portable tube preamp that adds character to a digital chain. The limit is missing detail: connector types, gain range and dimensions are all absent.

Who it's for

A home recording desk that wants one tube channel fits here. Skip it if you need multiple channels, or if you need to see connector and gain figures before ordering.
