Your pres have the same sound that preamps did in the mid 60s … during music’s golden age when console manufacturers spent money to use discreet electronics that produced a richer fatter sound … no one does that these days Yours have a quality of sound … an expanded frequency response … we marry them up with our Neuman U-67s or the TELEFUNKIN 251 and are extremely happy with the results … We turn ours on every chance we get !!! I’ve heard all the new equipment and no one has been able to emulate that wide, rich, warm sound of the early Ampex 300 machines … the richness of vocal recordings such as Johnny Mathis, instrumentalist Percy Faith, Barbara Streisand, the old Columbia Records days … the way your pres do ! We were running with Jeff Bova’s ProTools set up on the project for Jive recording artist “Deep Side” – and when we checked out your pres we could hear the difference immediately Your mic pres are very reminiscent of the Golden Age of great sounding equipment … Tony Bongiovi Bongiovi Entertainment … with more than 50 gold and platinum albums to his credit since beginning his historical career at the famous Motown label of the late 1960’s. His production discography alone includes such artists as Jimi Hendrix, Bon Jovi, Talking Heads, The Ramones, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Gloria Gaynor and The Scorpions. Tony conceived, created and operated Power Station Studios, the New York based mega-studio that remains the gold standard in the recording industry, and whose client list reads like a who’s who of the music industry.
