- This type of Mic Pre is very minimalist &
pure with amazingly silky top end and extreme Signal to Noise ratio.
The Low end is tighter and fatter which is amazing on drums. Once
the soft limiters are set to match the A/D Converters they are being
used with, they sound like the Apogee Soft Limit & Prismsound
Overkillers do on all eight channels with a blue LED becoming
brighter the harder they are driven. This allows you to use your
digital like going to tape so you can use every BIT of your digital
input giving you more clarity and no worries about clipping.
