Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (58 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Easily competes with "high-end" units."
Sound: I saw a review mentioning the lack of a tube. The Eureka has a "Saturation" knob which provides even harmonics, just like a tube. Sure, you can't yank it out and try other circuitry (as you would be able to try different 12AX7's or 12AU7's on other devices), but this unit is hard to beat, even with more expensive units. I'm not crazy about the eq, so I leave it flat and use my Neve eq's from my UAD-1 Ultra Pak. I recorded my bass at another studio via an Avalon and then recorded at home via the Eureka and found that the Avalon made it more muddy than warm; it could have just been the settings applied by the engineer. Feature: Dual balanced out (great for monitoring with one while recording with the other), impedance matching on XLR input (missing from Focusrite and Avalon), assignable meter (output/reduction), phantom power, phase inversion, low cut - the stuff you would expect (digital is optional). Ease of Use: You don't need a manual, unless if you've never seen a channel strip before. Quality: Rugged design, 1U, no wall-wart, metal knobs. Value: At this price, you can get 4 of them instead of one Avalon. This unit is not *cheap*; it is *inexpensive*. Manufacturer Support: Never needed it. The Wow Factor: Visually appealing, although the Mindprint is even prettier. Overall: I've been tracking vocals (with a Neumann TLM103), electric bass, acoustic guitar, and classical guitar through this and am considering getting another one just for convenience. I would absolutely replace it with another one without even thinking about it.
Style of Music: Christian (gospel, rock, latin, contemporary)

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Eureka! I Think They've Done It Again"
Sound: Very Clean and quiet. I used it live and in the studio. Its funny because when i used it live i just kept cranking up the gain on the lead vocalist and the pre would not clip or hear any noticable distortion, even with the needle slamming into the red on the vu meter. Feature: what more do you want? It has a pre with selectable impedence, compressor, eq and a saturate knob. I used it in the studio on my snare drum with a beta 57 and i hit the snare pretty loud and the pre wouldn't seem to clip or hear any noticable distortion on this too, usually on the snare, in my exprience, the snare wouldn't require that much gain. I do wish there was more of an LED on the pre section besides the 3 LED's it has on it. Quality: well built clean neat and nice to look at too with its blue LED's and such Manufacturer Support: Very good, I had a question on a mail in rebate for the digital out card for the unit, and they answered it, and also the turn around time on the MIR was about a little over a week. Awesome!! ( I haven't used the digital card yet though) The Wow Factor: cute little preamp i must say, i want another one for my setup Overall: just read the reviews and hear it for yourself, for the price it is, it's a great buy
