mic pre amps or channel strips with digital i/o (aes, spdif, adat...)

[xconnyx]

Hi!

I'm looking for a mic pre with digital connectivity, digital out would be needed at least. IN and OUT would be super good.

i was guessing for the art voice channel, as it is not too expansive.

any suggestions?

//edit:

budget is up to 700euro MAX.
one or two channels. one is fine, if there is a good one with two chans, post it as well please
digital out, compression & eq is essential
should have enough gain for a sm7b
main use: vocals (studio & live)
secondary use: guitars / snare

art micpres are crap. what's you budget and how many channels do you want?

 

[xconnyx]

one channel, mainly used for vocals (studio/live), secondary guitars and snare studio wise.

some sort of digital out and compression/eq is essential as i'm working live with digital desks

budget is 200-700 euro.

what about the en-voice by mindprint?

i have a Pro MPA II, with mullard tubes in, sounds great for its price!

but i still need a unit that has compression and eq as well. otherwise it would'nt make much sense to bring it to live shows.

i found someone to sell me a used channel one by spl. i liked that unit very much anyway and as it turned out, it had a AD card installed.

so i have my tube-pre/channel strip + aes & spdif.

yeah!
