My Content
3 Feb 2003
My mission is to buy the best preamp (preferably with compression) for vocal recording that I can for under $2000 Australian dollars (about a $1000 US dollars). I am looking for something that will be vastly superior to the pre's in my Mackie VLZ Pro (and they're pretty reasonable but lack warmth) and hopefully something with a few of those tube thingys that glow so nicely, or at least sound like they have'm.

The choice is daunting with many preamps featuring usefull additions such as compression, EQ and a de-esser. I am narrowing it down to a few that are worth a second look such as

SPL Channel One
Focusrite Voicemaster Pro
TL Audio 5051
Drawmer TSI (Tubestation)

Of these only the TL Audio features more than one valve and the Focusrite I think is only tube emulation. All of these are really designed primarily for vocals but should be ok for accoustic instruments. They all offer the potential to take a card to provide digital out as well. And although I don't need this at the moment it is a very useful feature for the future.

If anybody has been using one of these babies I would really appreciate your thoughts. I am leaning toward the SPL Channel One or the 5051 (the 5051 is the big brother to the Fatman 2 and it sounds really good too) but would really appreciate getting feedback from an owner as a few minutes in the shop does not give the full picture (or sound either).

Other suggestion also greatfully received - I am really looking for 'killer' pre amp.

cheers
