Manufacturer's Description for SM Pro Audio Q-PRE 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 Q-Pre 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 channel 1 and 2 (in pairs).

The new Q-Pre uses our well stablished E-Series Mic Preamps, a newly designed circuit and robust housing which can be rack mounted with an optional rack tray.

Features
- 4 XLR inputs

- Gain control per channel

- Peak Light indicator per channel

- Phantom On/Off per channel pair (1&2)

- 4 TRS outputs

- Metal housing

- Rack Mountable (with optional tray) zZounds is an authorized dealer of SM Pro Audio products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Phantom Power useless."

Sound: As a preamp for dynamic mics it is fine. I got it to use mostly as a four channel phantom power supply between condenser mics and a four channel recorder. When the Phantom power is on, there is an unacceptable level of power hum so it is usless for my application. The ripple from the phantom supply (with no microphones connected) is vivisble on the 48V DC. On my old oscillscope (not calibrated) it shows only a few milivolts, but amplified by the gain of the mic's internal amplifier it is huge. Feature: The independent switching of phantom power to two channels at a time is fine except that one of the switches is flakey. Sometimes the light is on but the phantom power isn't uless the switch is wiggled a little. Very cheap switch? Ease of Use: No complaint with dynamic mics. Quality: It is fairly ruggedly built. If it weren't for the bad phantom PS regulation and the cheap switch it woud be a good product. I expect there are worse products out there. Value: For twice the price I could have gotten an Audio Tehnica four channel phantom power supply (but with no amplifiers). That would brobably have been a better choice but more than I wanted to spend. Manufacturer Support: The support is in Australia. I didn't bother, there is really nothing broken. There are no specifications for noise in the phantom power system. One would think the .02% distortion would be applicable or the 80dB S/N but it isn't worth bothering with. The Wow Factor: It looks better than it works. I don't think of electronic equipment and sex at the same time. Overall: I plan to build a product from scratch if an attemp to fix this one by tearing it appart and installing a regulated power supply fails. (I will probably reuse the box). I am not likely to buy a product to replace it as the likely replacement costs considerably more than I am willing to spend.
