Pre-amp for vocals

[Jack Real]

Hi

I'm using an ART tube MP as pre-amplifier with my Sure KSM27 to record vocals. I would like to upgrade my pre-amplifier with something around $500. Any suggestions for a good pre-amp for vocals ?

Thanks,

Jack Real.

I don't have a wide range of experience with pres, but I have an RNP ($475US, if I recall) that kicks butt for vocals. Its an obvious step up from the other pres I have: an Art Dual MP, a Joemeek 3Q, the pres on an Alesis Stuido 24, and the sweet pres on a Soundtracs Solo MIDI board.

FMR Audio RNP

There are others in the price range, but that's what I can say from my experience.

Take care,
Chris

Hi

Thanks for the suggestions. From the Music 123 site, the top seller in that range are the "Focusrite TwinTrack Pro" and the "Presonus MP20". Any comments on those two ?

Thanks,

Jack Real.
