Mic preamp

Hi, I'm looking at some single/dual channel mic preamps. Does anyone have any recommendations for a budget of around 600 Euro? Do tube preamps in that price range really make much of a difference? I'm thinking about the Focusrite ISA One but I probably would prefer if it had 2 mic inputs for stereo recordings. The Aphex…

I'm thinking about the Focusrite ISA One but I probably would prefer if it had 2 mic inputs for stereo recordings. The Aphex 207D also looks good but a bit pricey.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.....

You should look at the audient range of pre amps. I've used and own a lot of great pres API, NEVE, Summit, Millennia etc .... The Audient punch welll above their weight and they're a great example of getting great quality at an reasonable price.

We supply the Audient range - The Mico is a fantastic box that sounds way better than it's price would suggest. It has the same pres as their well respected console.

Thanks for the replies. I'm tempted by the Audient Mico, it doesn't seem to have variable impedence though. The Summit Audio 2BA-221 is also an option, but again only has 1 mic input. Decisions, decisions......

Interesting, I might just be back to you on this. What kind of money were you thinking of selling it for anyway?
