Vintage Neve 1073 vs. Vintech X73i Mic Pre Shootout

Sound Peek — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:41:12 +0000

The Vintech X73i (Neve 1073) Replica is compared side-by-side an original pair of Vintage Neve 1073’s in a scientific mic preamp shootout at Sound Pure recording studios. For the shootout, The Sound Pure Steinway Concert grand piano was recorded using a matched pair of Peluso P12 Tube microphones (Vintage Clones of the AKG C12 microphone) spaced across the piano’s strings. Each microphones’ output was split, one to the NEve and one to the Vintech X73i. Volume output at identical levels was tested by verifying phase cancellation between the two signals when summed together (with one preamp set to phase reverse). The Vintage clone Vintech X73i blew the minds of the engineers at Sound Pure studios, as the differences between the Vintech and the Neve were imperceptible.

A Designs MP2A Stereo Tube Mic Preamp Recording Acoustic Guitars

Sound Peek — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:25:10 +0000

The A Designs MP2A Dual Channel Vacuum Tube Microphone Preamplifier is a wonderfully detailed and open-sounding tube microphone preamp that has a very clean sound, with very subtle tube color, warmth, and three-dimensionality. It is not heavy, colored, or conjested in the mids and low-mids. This makes it a great choice on acoustic instruments including guitar, piano, orchestra, percussion- wherever you are looking for articulation, detail without the heavy, sluggish, and sometimes muddy response you sometimes get from vacuum tubes. This a seriously high-end piece, that should be given a serious listen.
