Having been a home audio fanatic many years ago,and having built much of my gear at that time from kits,I know what a preamp does,but why would you need one (a separate,stand alone unit,I mean)for general recording purposes unless,of course,you were working with some sort of mic having especially low output?
Wouldn't most recording gear have enough amplification already built into the basic design of it that a preamp shouldn't be required?Or do preamps in the recording field serve purposes other than just initial amplification?
I ask this because I see preamps advertised and frequently mentioned in discussions about recording and sometimes,live performances.
Thanks,
Malcolm
