Tube preamp with compressor / limiter and equal.
I do not use equal.
The config is super simple, even someone who has never had this kind of material in the hands will quickly get used to it. sounds cash!

When I got it, I said: "Time is money" Why I spent a lot of time trying to get the voice tracks in a mix without being aggressive but that? it stays ahead .... I never really succeeded and I'm upset, tired ... I even gave up and told me that it was useless it was better that I drop everything. 1000 euros (Cygnus) later: all my projects are alive, it really is that happiness! a little touch of equal and that's it (sometimes I recompress the audio software anyway)! The voices are really good, present and warm. In addition this preamp is very flexible, the distance to the microphone can vary a bit, the compressor load balancing and ultimately it even when singing the microphone far enough we get something good! Close to the microphone is the very definition of presence.
So "time is money" and seen as I lost mine before the preamp, I left much more than the price!

Well that's history now lived:
1. Very comfortable as easy to set, easy to use, light enough in fact, not very hot even after hours and hours. This box is really good at home.
2. Creamy: the aggressiveness of certain voice is very less (including voices that have a high medium headache), the lower medium is sublime.
3. Saturates (I think it is only the compressor does not follow) when you face death at the microphone. So get a little back when we send the potato (but really big potato) or no worries.
4. Sibilance are also decreased but if you stay in front and close to the microphone, some hiss may resurface so disturbing. Singing with the microphone a little off-center and virtually no problem. Plus you can not even hear we DéSaXé microphone)
5. A big character this preamp means live in the hot color Rican and I love it!!
6. I want a second ..... :)

OVERALL OPINION

so like me in the preamp of your sound card does not give you satisfaction in his voice. In addition, the taking only voices with the preamp (and instrument preamp with map) gives a nice contrast to the voice before without encroaching on the instrumental parts
