"Sweetness!"
Sound
This is a very unique pre. Transparent, yet somewhat colored. Best out of the new ISA range bunch as a mic pre. Great on acoustic instruments. Musical sounding pre.
Features
Some great features such as the impedence settings, the A/D option which also can be used for 4 xtra mic pre's of your choice to run through the A/D of the ISA (bypassing for expample the 002 converters).
Quality
Its solid. Looks great. Feels great.
Value
Great value. Great bang for the buck. Paid $2100 w/ the digital card option. Would've paid more if i had to.
Manufacturer Support
have not used their support.
The Wow Factor
Its a great 4 channel unit. Pretty damn sexy!!!! Others i'd want also are the API 3124 ($3300), or the Great River MP2NV (2 channel pre $2150)

PERFECT SOUND AND CONSTRUCTION...BETTER VALUE THAN THE API STUFF..ESPECIALLY THE 7600 CHANNEL STRIPS.

SOUNDS GREAT...MANY NECESSARY FEATURES....VINTAGE SOUND...COMPARABLE TO THE CHANDLER STUFF FOR LESS THAN 1/2 THE PRICE...NO KIDDING!!! THE VARIABLE LO-CUT FILTER IS ABSOLUTELY USEFUL WHEN MICING DRUMS.
