As a fairly new recordist, I’m just getting my head around mic pres and their function. Now as far as I understand it, these preamps are there to amplify the signal from a microphone to an acceptable level and provide phantom power where required.
Like a lot of users on this site, I have an Edirol UA-25 USB interface.
This is a cracking little box with a couple of built in mic pres. However, if I wanted to try out some other new mic preamps, am I able to switch off the pres within the Edirol? If not, what are the repercussions of two lots of preamps in the signal chain?
Please, no RTFM replies – I have done. The word preamp is mentioned only once in the UA-25 manual.
