Decent write ups though very few, a short lived product it seems. $45...Very Good shape why not?
Very impressed with the build, heavy with very large transformer in it for power, extremely clean layout internally.
Brushed aluminum front with excellent pots, tight and firm not the plastic cheapo feeling kind, these are 100%.
Not totally dissecting it, supposedly BurrBrown ic's , YAC caps from what I can tell. No country of origin but the writing on the back is French..er...Italian? InMusic is the Large Corp which now owns Rane and Denon and many others...
Unit looks brand new, so it wasn't used or the silk screen is well done. XLR are gold plated, standard power plug no wall wart. SPEC is -100db on the Recording Output and -80db on the Main which sounds impressive.
Oddly, the Gain....its not a ISA One with 80db, this one is closer to a Cloudlifter range 30db, maybe with some extra gain on the compressor , adding to the Mic Preamp and Master output.
As with most IC stuff I will assume "clean" and not color. No Transformer in the path nor tubes.
Test drive this weekend....
