Intro to Preamps [Video]

Last week I posted a video called Intro to Microphones. This week, let’s follow the signal past the microphone and into the microphone preamp.

A preamp is one of those necessary items for your studio. Either your audio interface will have built-in preamps, or you’ll use external preamps. Enjoy!

    Hi joe, nice video, thanks for sharing.
    The ones you show are pretty expensive, but it’s a good summary, thanks again.
    I own a presonus firebox and just got a second hand AT4040. I would like to have more mic input to my interface. It seems a preamp plugged into the 2 lines input is the way to go.
    Do you have a preamp suggestion for me (for less than 500$) that sounds better than the firebox’s preamp?
    Thanks and congrats, HSC is great :)

      That True Systems P-Solo is fantastic. Also, the GrooveTubes Brick, and the PreSonus Studio Channel would be a great option, too!

    Love the P-Solo. Loved the API 3124 the last time I used one too.
