"A great quality very clear sounding professional sounding mic preamp that is less than 200 bucks."
Feature:
Its pretty basic but it has the needed features for using condenser mikes (phantom power is the important one). And its very very quiet. Also it has a low cut, which can cut out low frequencies, but its better just to get rid of the source of them.
Quality:
I haven't used it a lot, but so far I'm able to get more clarity in my recordings, so that on multitrack recordings the individual tracks can be more distinctly heard. Without clarity, sound separation becomes more difficult in my opinion.
Value:
Seems to be good value for the money.
Desirability:
It's a pretty professional looking little piece of gear.
Sound:
This has the clarity that becomes more critical when you have more than 2 or three tracks of instruments in the recording mix, especially when you add bass. Without a more precisely clear sound picture, things start to get muddy. This preamp is able to keep things clear enough. My VTB1 is ok, but from what I can tell so far, this DMP3 is one's a good bit better. Its giving me a more in focus sound picture.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. Low learning curve.
Support:
N/A. I have no idea what the support is like because I've not used it.
Overall:
Sounds real nice and works real nice. So far I've just recorded synth, bass guitar and classical guitar on it, but those are sounding real nice. All the tracks are clearer than my Studio Projects VTB1, but especially the bass tracks seem to be coming through in the mix with more pristine sound definition. The VTB1 is a decent preamp, but this DMP3 is better. You'll probably pay a more for the DMP3, but its worth it if you need more clarity.

10 out of 10
Feature:
its got the low frequency cut, high lo gain boost, phantom power, phase reversal two mic inputs
the little peak meter ends up not really helping at all though
Quality:
seems pretty well made im more worried about dropping it or stepping on it rather than it breaking down
Value:
from what i hear its a ten and i agree
Desirability:
i could use another one i guess
Sound:
i havent used any other preamps but for the money you pay this is supposed to be a 10 for the under 200 bucks category
it sounds pretty clean to me
Ease of Use:
just plug it in
Support:
havent dealt with support
Overall:
it does the job. gets your mic pumped up with phantom power with very low noise distortion and retains the original feel and sound pretty well. it doesnt add to much of its own tone like with some other mic preamps
