DaviSound "Mic-All" Preamp Acoustic Guitar/Vox Clip

Well, of course, to REALLY listen to it, you gotta buy one! But this might give you an idea of what can be done with it!

Wow man, very very nice. So these preamps have enough juice for ribbons too? I can't wait to get a Davisound preamp!

With four I could almost do my whole kit seeing as I have only been micing with 5 mics lately, and many times I don't even need the snare mic. Oh the possibilities. . . and it comes in a nice wooden box to top it all off.

Great stuff man, and thanks for the info.

Glad ya like it...
The "Mic-All" pres have max. gain of +58dB. Not exactly 70dB of gain, typical of preamps used with ribbon mics, but it holds it's own even at 50dB of gain with a s/n of 80dB (or an EIN of about -121dBU) and at 55dB of gain, THD of 008% at 20 KHZ.

Of course, 40dB of gain and below has a theoretical THD of .0008 and at Unity, a s/n of 123dB.

Yeah, I can't wait to get a chance to mike-up a whole drum set entirely with DaviSound "Mic-All" preamps! Unfortunately, I won't get that chance until late Fall or otherwise, not until early Spring!

I went and had a looksee at the DaviSound Web Presence. They sell the TB-6 for $950. That's around £600 U.K. Which is £150 per channel. Add on VAT and Import duty and it comes to, around, £744 (sans Carriage), which is £186 per channel. Still pretty good. Thank God I don't have the cash to get stricken by Gear Lust!
