Universal Audio Preamp

[11.04 lb] As a voice over artist--The combo of my microphone (AT875R) and audio interface (Audient iD4) had me pumping the gain knob to 4 or 5 'o clock on the dial..which in turn made for a TERRIBLE, hissy, noise floor...which in turn made me add Noise Reduction / hi pass filters, etc..much to the detriment of the overall quality of my audio clips. Now that I've added in the in-line phantom preamp, my gain knob is BELOW the 12'o clock position. So, the signal is boosted, and I'm not having to over-crank my interface just to get my speaking voice between -12db / -6 db, AND I'm using far less noise reduction/filters. The only downside is you can't dial in sounds/frequencies...however, it's an in-line preamp...so...that's the way it is. Know that going in, and you'll be fine. If you want a preamp that you can tinker around and play with different sounds, then this is not for you.

[20 Hz - 20kHz] I use the Aluratek ABC02F Universal Bluetooth Audio Receiver and Transmitter connected to the Optical Audio output on my Sony TV. It pairs with a set of Sony Bluetooth earbuds to provide a separate channel for audio for my aging ears while the TV's audio continues to function independently for the rest of the family. The optical connection to the TV was simple and the ABC02F paired quickly and easily to the Sony Earbuds. The ABC02F is plugged into a USB port on the TV and is always on so the earbuds are reconnected within the time it takes to remove them from their charger/case and insert them into the ear.

[3.255 lb] This audio interface replaced my Universal Audio Volt 2, which was a great interface, but I wanted a little more. This along with the bundled software and plug-ins has been a game changer for me. Once I get a little more comfortable with the UA experience, I'll likely be stepping up to an Apollo Twin.

[Internal] I found the output audio very clean, very clean! Unlike any other brand I've ever had! It's an entry line from Universal Audio, but I found the quality of the pres impressive, still with the vintage function and with the pre-set 1176 compressor! It was worth the purchase!

[0.03 lb] Perfectly protects the Universal Audio Apollo Solo interface.

[1.465 lb] This perfectly protects my Universal Audio interface on road trips.

[Plug-In Power] I'm surprised at how well this mic turned out and along with the two-channel Saramonic preamp I have a good audio system on my Panasonic G85 and quite cheap

[Gain: +14 dB] This is one of the best audio purchases I've ever made. It's one of the cleanest devices I've ever heard (or not heard. . . .) It is an amazing amount of gain in the preamp, it easily drives any pair of headphones I own, and it's built like an absolute tank. It's the perfect belt pack for a boom operator. Another winner for Sound Devices!
