SMProAudio PR4 4-Channel Microphone Preamp
The market size for digital audio interfaces and computer based digital editing has increased in a massive way. With systems available at very low prices, more and more users are utilizing this technology. One of the main problems with many of these systems is the input stage only consisting of unbalanced line inputs or very low (or no mic pre) gain structure for the balanced input stage and the unavailability of Phantom power.

The PR4 value series comes to the rescue with 4 channels of Balanced input, with a full range of gain control from -20dB to +40dB and Phantom power switchable for ch 1 & 2 (in pairs). This half rack unit can now solve many of the connectivity issues which are raised in a large range of situations, whether in the studio, home, club installation or other live sound applications.

Gain control per channel

Peak Light indicator per channel

SM Pro Audio PR4V 4-Channel Microphone Preamp Reviews

15 People rated this product :

"Recording enthusiasts and budding engineers take note."
Feature:
Standard features inlude XLR balanced inputs, and 48V phantom power. This unit has unbalanced outputs though, but if you are just making short-runs (to your DAW), you should be comfortable using the PR-4.

Quality:
Very sturdy case. All metal construction. Could use a set of rack-mount "ears" to make it a road unit.

Value:
For the money, every budding engineer should have one.

Desirability:
It's not sexy at all, and it shouldn't be. It's basic audio gear. But it does have a pretty green light for power indication, and a green "clip" led on each channel.

Sound:
Sounds fairly transparent, and input sensitivity was consistant throughout the 4 balanced XLR inputs.

Support:
Have not had to contact SMPro Audio for support.

Overall:
I love this. I think I need 2. If you think 4 is to small, try a PR-8

"Sweet deal for a 4 channel mic pre"
Feature:
For what it is designed to do, the features are great. If you need phantom power, and want to boost your xlr mic input to line level 1/4" unbalanced output, this unit will do it nicely. Won't color the sound like a tube amp, it's just a crisp, clear signal.

Quality:
so far so good

Value:
Amazing deal for 4 quiet solid state pmic preamps with phantom power.

Desirability:
Looks nice and is very compact.

Sound:
A good solid state preamp should be quiet, and this one is. Turn the gains up to max, then back them off until you are not clipping. The result is a very quiet pre-amp.
