Frequently Asked Questions

They’re clean and relatively quiet, but lack the low-noise performance and headroom of more expensive preamps; suitable for most home recording needs.
No, only two inputs limit you to stereo pairs or single instruments at a time. You'd need a larger interface for a full drum kit recording.
It's a subtle, fixed EQ curve designed to add a touch of clarity and presence to vocals or instruments; a gentle enhancement, not a fully adjustable EQ.
