From Our Catalog
Any professional recording engineer will tell you that quality microphone/instrument preamps are just as important as the microphones themselves. Unfortunately, the preamps found in most affordable mixers don't do justice to the rest of your geará and most high-quality preamps cost more than your computer. That's why M-Audio made the affordable new DMP3.
Why a DMP3
The DMP3 isn't just any 2-channel microphone/instrument preamp. M-Audio's design team embarked on a mission to combine years of experience with the finest components in order to bring you an impressive blend of high quality and affordable price. Whether you use it live or in the studio, the DMP3 is one of those pieces of gear destined to be integral in defining your sound.
An astounding frequency response of 20Hz to 100kHz makes the DMP3 ideal for today's 96k recording workÖand the perfect companion for the M-Audio Delta line of PCI audio interface cards. High and low gain controls accommodate a wide range of microphone and instrument levels, offering up to a substantial 66dB of gain. And the classic VU meters are just one indication of the soul you'll find in the DMP3's sound.
Applications:
Optimizing signal level
Recording with soundcards
Direct recording of instruments
Features
2-channel preamp with XLR microphone inputs and 1/4 in. instrument inputs accommodates any type of audio signal
Balanced outputs on TRS jacks deliver hum-free professional audio
Low harmonic distortion (THD + N: .002% @ 1kHz) for ultra-clean sound
Exceptional dynamic range to capture all the nuances of your music
20Hz to 100kHz frequency response (+0/-1dB) ideal for 96k digital recording
High and low gain range controls offer up to 66dB of gain
Clip LED for visual feedback of detrimental levels
Low-cut filters remove unwanted rumble and hum
Phantom power to accommodate all types of microphones
Phase reverse switch on each channel insures optimal recordings
All of these great DMP3 features are brought to you by M-Audio, one of the most trusted companies in audio technology today. In fact, the DMP3 is based on the same DMP2 technology that won Pro Audio Review's highest rating. Welcome to the M-Audio DMP3Öprofessional sound quality made affordable.

M-Audio DMP3 Dual Mic Pre and Direct Box Reviews

"Step up to Pro-Quality with very litte $$$ outlay!"
Feature:
The VU meters on my machine hardly move, but I monitor from other equipment, anyway.
Quality:
Sounds Damn good!
Value:
Would give it an 11, if possible.
Sound:
I picked up this very affordable dual mic pre based on reviews from this site. I was not dissappointed! I had used MAudio's Firewire series and enjoyed the clean quality of the channel 1&2 built in mike pre's. I was totally surprised when I experienced an even warmer and yet still transparent sound on live recordings using a 2nd Rode NT4 at a further distance to capture room ambience, and routing the outputs of the DMP3 into channels 3&4 of my firewire 810. I hardly had to turn the gain (without boost) beyond the 11 O'Clock position, and I was getting even more input and luxurious sound than from Channels 1&2 which were at the 3 O'Clock position. All the artists I record as well as myself really like this thing! Although I could upgrade to the MAudio Octane (8 mike pre's which I hear are even better than the DMP3), its compact size ensures I will always have a use for the DMP3, especially for field recordings, and for use with portable DAT equipment as well.
Support:
Haven't needed it.

"Little Beast!"
Feature:
Its got everything I need in a small desktop package that doesn't piss my wife off because it takes up too much space! Plus its so damn cheap (the price, not the sound!).
Quality:
Very solid. Someone here mentioned the VU meters barely moving, but mine give me a good representation of the signal. Connectors are all solid and tight. Seems like it will hold up well over time.
Value:
For this price, two good clean preamp channels, simple and efficient...I'm gonna buy more of these if I ever need more than two preamps!
Desirability:
My wife even thinks the VU meters are cool looking, but the sexiest thing about this unit is the way it sounds!
Sound:
I recorded some vocals with this little guy and a Groove Tube G-1 LDC mic. Man! Didn't have to touch EQ once in my system. Very clean and natural sound. Can't wait to track some bass through this!
Support:
They're the best because I haven't dealt with them!
Overall:
Yeah, I might have to pick up some more of these babies if I start recording bands instead of just recording my own stuff. Can you rack mount it? Gotta check on that!
