Quality:
Horrible. The reliability is just plain non-existent. See my comments in "Ease of Use" section.

Sound:
Sounds pretty good. I was using it with a Studio Project B1

Ease of Use:
How easy can it be to use when it Breaks. I've had the terrible experience of having two of these. Why? The first one arrived and didn't work at all. ZZSOUNDS sends me a new one(which I appreciate, customer service was good) but just 3 months later that one has stopped working. I am done with ART!

ART Tube MP Mic Preamp Customer Review

Overall:: 4 out of 10

Submitted: 4/11/2008

Feature:
I think that the features are straightforward.you'll like the low cut filtering.it also has a limiter.Very nice

Sound:
It gives out a very nice warm sound.Not bad

Ease of Use:
very easy to use.You won't have a problem with it

Support:
the manual covers pretty much everything you wanted know

Overall:
It’s a great preamp. Don’t make the mistake of buying something like this if you’re serious about recording. That also applies to microphones as well. Because what will happen if you buy this and then you’ll buy the expensive one and this will have no purpose. Recommended Rupert Neve 5032-H Portico Single Channel Mic Preamp / 3 U 87 Microphone If your recording vocals, this is a one stop shop. And also expensive. There is no such thing as commercial sound with cheap mics and preamps. It’s very important to do this right the first time.
