All user reviews for the PreSonus TubePre

Prampli small lamp, a channel

no pice of plastic! even the knobs are made of steel! has inspired confidence!

UN Drive, gain .. out of phase, a pad, low cut phantom power supply

Between XLR jack Released Same



USE

Nothing to report, really easy .. but useless reduces manual

on the other hand, many minutes you have to go play with the drive and the gain to get what you want ..

I get very often on inaudible sound, but when it works, it works rather well!



SOUND QUALITY

so do not expect a wonderful sound, remember that has cost 100 euros .. we must compare comparable !!

there is already a step up as art or behringer in these price range!

test DI Box with a guitar .. it works impeccable dynamics, heat, discoloration of the pleasant lamp!
everything what you want

But beware .. is saturated and can easily be surprises during the catch! ...

In my observation preamp is acceptable !! without a good rglage is literally rotten signal !!!!
but once found the right mix has spent !! even though

The lamp will deserve to be changed, but it tien road all the same!

NOTICE GLOBAL

The +

Di box in a great work!
it's solid!
right preamp
some see no cheap plastic

the -

no on off button - the savings on to? even when it is necessary ..
Case Format (not even 1/4 rack) rounded edge has m'enerve!
may be the lamp? but I was fine with me for my use!
low cut off phase to fine ???
I say when PreSonus same hat for doing a product that is worth the money !!

it's not really the tube or Art behringer low-end manufacturing and bad!

it's on !! 200 or rather 300 euros more was better !!! It was worth every penny! I regret my 100euros

Small preamp equipped "a lamp" to look nice.
jack / XLR, XLR output jack
VU meter front

48v power supply, reverse phase ... Saver manufacturer.

UTILIZATION

I use it in a home studio to make small models.
I spend the vocals, bass, acoustic guitar, or just taken all my microphones for recording sessions.

SOUND QUALITY

I would simply give the impression to bring a little warmth and dynamic colors son.Il but is not neutral.

OVERALL OPINION

Service because it makes very affordable, and had its effect on small models made Home.

+ Look (in get crazy)
+ Price

- Its colors
- No switch, disconnect transformer obligation to cease power.

Mono tube microphone preamp consists of a backlit VU meter, a gain knob, a phantom power, a button Drive, a phase inverter, a-20dB pad, and a low cut.

The connector on the back has a XLR input jack for instrument 6.35, an XLR output and unbalanced output jack 6.35.

I think the model is rack just visit www.presonus.com.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of this little amp could not be simpler. Drive button that makes all the originality of the unit lets you adjust the sound level coming out of the lamp. The VU meter is a little unclear but certainly you can adjust your output level.

In short a very simple device to use and more may well be used as direct case because of its small size.

SOUND QUALITY

As for sound quality, I am very satisfied. I used it on an electric guitar and percussion, the sound is of good quality with good reproduction of the attacks and transients. Button delivers a Drive you a pretty good heat which makes it particularly well on acoustic guitars.

Compared with the Blue Tube, I find the sound of tube pre-slightly better.

At drums and toms, the result is up as well.
Remains to be seen on the voice ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 and it's been two months that I use. I find the quality / price unbeatable for the lamp.
Of course you can not compare it to another category such AVALON, but for the price it's a good start for a home studio and an interesting solution to cope with the coldness of digital.

In addition he won an Award.

Mono tube preamp
setting the attack of the lamp and output gain
80Hz low-cut
phase inverter
input attenuator 20 dB
48v phantom power supply
input / output balanced XLR
it lacks a front panel switch

UTILIZATION

So simple that there is no need for instructions.
manual to change the lamp

SOUND QUALITY

Whether for acoustic instruments or voice for the preamp defended well.
a little too much force when blowing the attack of the lamp
he adds harmonics across the spectrum that makes the sound warmer.
advice, leave the heat lamp at least one hour for best results.

OVERALL OPINION

Compare Behringer MIC2200 preamp with Ultragain Pro, the sound is warmer on the pressonus.
on the other hand it is more expensive because the behringer is stereo and has equalizer.
a case that will satisfy every budget.

Preamp + hybrid solid state lamp

half rack

hi jack instrument z

any symmetrical

pretty mug

no on / off switch

UTILIZATION

You plug, you play ... it's a preamp, what, no frills

SOUND QUALITY

The quality blows by far the most integrated preamps sound cards or table mix, mackie understood. is a very good preamp. in solid state, it is perfectly clean

attention, the lamp is supplied with an unnamed dung, it must be changed immediately to have good sound

OVERALL OPINION

For three months, with a micro Tbone SC450. No complaints, I am 100% happy with the sound ... range above will necessarily be 3 times more expensive, so I am fully satisfied for the moment!

Prampli a lamp, 1 / 2 rack, 80 hz filter, phantom power.
Jack + XLR connectors

UTILIZATION

Getting started is simple only problem was me c the manual it is englais and a product sold in France it would have been nice to have a manual in french so I'll put 8 / 10

SOUND QUALITY

The quality of sound?
I changed the lamp because the original was not what she came up the fast saturation, on the advice of Gilles de www.audiotubetech.com in (a n'hesit not ask his advice, r prcise clear response and especially fast I dsern him a grade of 10/10 for its rapid I have a Sovtek 12AX7LPS and I said thank you for the board because it does at least on the Micro and so far I have a microphone quality mdiocre
For the guitar l. ........ saturatoin arrive soon c + damage
I put 8 / 10 because of the lamp

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently but due to its simplicity of use, the service on my prehistoric micro and the price of beet I would do the same choice without hsiter

NOTE: ATTENTION THIS IS NOT A BOMB ON THE PRICE BUT DO HAVE SOME TOP

Prampli lamp, XLR, phantom power supply etc. ...

UTILIZATION

Trs simple, drive, gain, and then you go, at home, the hour hand has never really worked

SOUND QUALITY

Yesh, as many say, what the price should not expect too much, to increase the volume, of course, but in terms of the lamp is not of great interest or a saturated too quickly, or you see too much diffrence (the trick is to choose), the button might be saving enough alone

OVERALL OPINION

If c'tait again, I think for my little home studio, j'achterai that makes a good pramp as compressor and limiter, a great brand with a good sound because that I say yes but much more and stay somewhere else something hot, finally, I bought a compressor is a little better dj nice if you opt for a portable solution
I gives me several years APRS, the Avalon Submitted I-610 and LA, good microphones, U87, Brauner, as I do not carry my big pramps, I of dealing with this little TubePre, I must say I t enjoyable surprise, this award is really the honnte

Tube amp, phantom power supply, gain and drive, XLR and jack connection

UTILIZATION

The config is super simple two knob rather a for profit and one for the drive, and four buttons, which I must say I use no ke eh, ah ben manual quite simple!

SOUND QUALITY

I have avour ke I'm really happy with my preamp, I had to do research before, I wanted something nice and warm and not too expensive, with my SM 57, I record my djembe and even with my flute good sound, I will develop it, I'm a great technician!
I think the pre amp provides good color

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, it is small, easy to use good enregistrment
not try other!
I find good quality, good value quality price I think
yes I will take it, unless you have more tune, but frankly I find it very well eheh

2 buttons, a drive, a gain, phantom power supply, cut down etc.

UTILIZATION

Very good report qualitprix good product, the effects of the lamp drive out good.
I use it with a COMP16 (presonus), on a pro mic B2-all on a sound card Terratec DMX 6 Fire 24/96, the terrible thing not c the doc in English, but hey ....

SOUND QUALITY

Very good sound (especially for its meager price) but there aun catch all of the same level of sibilance, a good desseur would not tropo I think.
For me, the preamp is very transparent

OVERALL OPINION

In short, for those without a big budget and looking for sound quality "I highly recommend it (a condition to make a good mix because there can be surprises to see the time). What I like c over it is very easy to use but they are forgetting one ACPM on / off button (even when! lol)

For the dtail CHARACTERISTICS, see the reviews previous ones.

Note the trs good quality connections, this price is the plutt rare!
Nice also the possibility of two outputs simultaneously (XLR +4 dB (!) And jack-10dB)

No on / off button but ... this is not a switch that makes the quality

UTILIZATION

J'apprcie much the possibility to mix the passage through the lamp (DRIVE button) to gain ... This provides all possible combinations.

The first tube is Designed and easy to use. With some test recordings are quickly find the way down to breath.

The manual is clear enough for those who can read English!

SOUND QUALITY

I use it for voice, associated with a dynamic microphone shure beta 58A. Since the microphone has an output gain lev I have no problem of breath.

Friendly, the DRIVE rglage around 11 noon, which corresponds to a gain little bta58A prs noon for a clean output to 0dB. For these rglages, the voice is warm, clear and bright trs without saturation ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week. After a few initial dceptions, I chose to sing in my microphone 10cm via a pop filter and I tried every combination drive / gain for an output level 0dB own.

Really, the sound is when the nickel is associated with TubePre bta58 for a drive around 11. With a less powerful microwave (test done with my Shure PG58), you must either push the gain too high (and the breath is audible) or increase the attack of the lamp (and the sound becomes diistordu and aggressive). Be careful at the microphone used!

I do not blame it so much prampli studio. For its price, it's really good stuff!

It is a small pre amp of high quality should be aware that this is the best at this price it Offredi interesting features

UTILIZATION

Nothing more simple a child's play

SOUND QUALITY

Those who doubt should Changra the lamp is the same thing we discover a new pre amp, the quality onsent certe avalon is not a very good but with a good mix can be behind something quality

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 3 months it is very good and enough for me I buy it because it is small, useful, and good as long as the User properly and with good set-up is excellent! ! (Buy eyes closed)
